APPROVAL OF MINUTES

It was moved and seconded that, (1) the draft minutes of the RAC 2010 January meeting in Orlando, Florida and the Spring teleconference meeting be approved as drafted. MOTION PASSED: 11-0-0 CNV (Unanimous voice vote) E. CHAIRS REPORT A. Disposition of Motions from Last Meeting all motions from Winter meeting that required Tech Council or BOD approval passed except the funding motion for 1515TRP.

It is moved and seconded that, (2) proposed research project 1515-TRP, Thermal and Air Quality Acceptability in Buildings that Reduce Energy by Reducing Minimum Airflow from Overhead Diffusers, be reconsidered for funding. MOTION PASSED: 9-0-21 CNV Action #1 <Staff>: Add Iain Walker to the PMS for 1515-RP.

Background: A motion to fund this project failed to pass Technology Council in Orlando by a vote of 6-6-0 CV. Since the proposal was written, University of California has obtained $250,000 in co-funding to support the energy-conservation side of the RP-1515 study. The additional funding adds detailed energy measurements to the ASHRAE project. It uses a set of existing buildings whose controls are being modified to toggle low-minimum flows at the researchers volition. Funding has been awarded from the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the work has already started. Lowminimum operation is especially suitable for retrofits, and retrofitting existing buildings is a priority for energy efficiency policy makers and the CEC. The project will determine energy savings and payback rates. This CEC project does not, however, examine the interior airflow circulation and occupant comfort issues that are addressed by the ASHRAE project. B. New Action Items Assigned by Tech. Council: 1. AI#1 OR10 Update Committee MBOs and send to Watson prior to spring

MORTS REPORT

MORTS Semi Annual Report - Highlights from the report were discussed and is included as Attachment # 5. O. TENTATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS TO POTENTIALLY BID FALL 2010 At this point, we have 22 TRPs and probably additional WSs that we are reviewing in Albuquerque and Tech Weekend (?) that are or may be ready for bid in fall 2010 or spring 2011. If just the 22 projects that are approved and ready now for bid in spring 2011 and all are awarded in Montreal, they would add more than $2.0 million in additional funding commitments to FY11-12. As a result, RAC will need to continue to prioritize the list of TRPs to bid on a regular basis. We also may need to forgo or greatly constrain a fall bid solicitation in 2010 because we only have about $100k in uncommitted funding for FY 10-11 if all six TRPs being considered at this meeting are funded. 1399-TRP, Survey of Particle Production Rates from Process Activities in Pharmaceutical and Biological Clean Rooms; Responsible Committee: TC 9.11 (Clean Spaces) 1410-TRP, Effect of System Chemicals Towards the Breakdown of Lubricants and Refrigerants; Responsible Committee: TC 3.02 (Refrigerant System Chemistry) 1413-TRP-R, Developing Standard Procedures for Filling Climatic Data-Gaps for Use in Building Performance Monitoring and Analysis; Responsible Committee: TC 4.02 (Climatic Information) 1447-TRP, Performance of Pressurized Stairwells with Open Doors; Responsible Committee: TC 5.06 (Control of Fire and Smoke) 1458-TRP, Modeling Person-to-Person Contaminant Transport in a Mechanical Ventilation Space; Responsible Committee: TC 4.10 (Indoor Environmental Modeling) 1462-TRP, Active Mechanisms for Enhancing Heat and Mass Transfer in Sorption Fluids; Responsible Committee: TC 8.03 (Absorption and Heat Operated Machines) 1495-TRP, Effect of Lubricant on the Distribution of Moisture between the Vapor and Liquid Phases of Refrigerants (Phase 1); Responsible Committee: TC 3.03 (Refrigerant Contaminant Control) 1499-TRP, The Effect of Humidity on the Reliability of ICT Equipment in Data Centers; Responsible Committee: TC 9.9 (Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment); Co-Sponsor: SSPC 90.1 1502-TRP, User Interface Design for Advanced System Operation; Responsible Committee: TC, 1.4 (Control Theory and Application) 1529-TRP, Full-Frequency Numerical Modeling of Sound Transmission in and Radiation from Lined Ducts; Responsible Committee: TC 2.6, Sound and Vibration Control 1550-TRP, Thermal Performance of Insulating Coating; Responsible Committee: TC 1.08 (Mechanical System Insulation) 1556-TRP, Characterization of Liquid Refrigerant Flow Emerging from a Flooded Evaporator Tube Bundle; Responsible Committee: TC 1.03 (Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow)

RECENT REVISIONS Summary of Changes for 2010 Revision Replaced obsolete language about Technical Papers with current publication options such as ASHRAE Transactions Technical Papers and HVAC&R Research Papers Added guidance about proposing Design Guides as part of ASHRAE Research Projects Added example forms showing the critieria RAC uses to evaluate RTARs and Work Statements Clarified the membership requirements for PES and PMS when projects have co-funding from outside organizations Added a Quick Summary of PMS Chair responsibilities.

RESEARCH PROJECT MANUAL OVERVIEW The purpose of this manual is to present, in one document, all of the information and procedures needed by individuals who initiate, approve, conduct, monitor and utilize ASHRAE research. ASHRAE has been sponsoring research to advance the arts and sciences of HVAC&R for the benefit of the public since 1919. It is a unique program that depends on voluntary funding and the many volunteers who plan and monitor the research. ASHRAE research has grown steadily over the years to the current commitment of more than $10 million for over 100 projects. Research findings have truly benefited our members, our industry and the public. The Research Administration Committee (RAC) is committed to finding ways to improve the operation of the system and to focus research on those areas of technology critical to ASHRAE. This document details all aspects of ASHRAE research projects from the strategic plan for the program to the dissemination of the information generated. Sample forms and examples of well-done documents are included. It is intended to supplement, not supplant, the official ASHRAE documentation such as the Rules of the Board, and Manuals of Procedures. The subject of Special Projects (projects sponsored by or co-sponsored by outside organizations) is not covered in this manual. A document entitled "Policy and Procedures for ASHRAE Special Projects" covers this subject in detail.

YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME Should you have a comment on this Research Manual, please submit it electronically to the ASHRAE Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS). E-mail: MORTS@ashrae.net The MORTS will consolidate comments for RAC. RAC intends to maintain the Research Manual as a living document and update it as it is needed and practical.

1. RESEARCH STRATEGIC PLANNING AND OVERALL APPROVAL PROCESS ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan The ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan is updated every five years by the Research Advisory Panel with input solicited from the TCs (and TGs, SSPCs and other committees sponsoring research projects), standing committees/councils and from individuals and organizations outside ASHRAE but with the same or related interests to ASHRAE. The Plan is approved by the Technology Council. The Society's Officers and Board members receive counsel on the strategic plan from the members through the Region-Chapter organization and through the Council-Committee organization. The Society's Research Strategic Plan covers a five-year period. It is designed to be reviewed periodically and revised as needed. The current Research Strategic Plan, which is available from ASHRAE Headquarters and posted on the Research Page of the ASHRAE Web site, should be consulted for the latest information on the overall research goals of the Society. The research priorities and broad themes/topics outlined in the strategic plan are communicated to the TCs to guide them in their planning and development of specific research project topics. Research Advisory Panel The Research Advisory Panel consists of a mixed group of ten experienced design engineers, educators, policy makers, and/or researchers who are all forward-thinking individuals appointed by the ASHRAE President. Their mission is to review and update every five-years the Societys Research Strategic Plan by examining research frontiers and critical issues that may form barriers to progress and developing a strategic plan for the benefit of the HVAC&R industry and the general public. They meet semi-annually and make recommendations to the Research Administration Committee (RAC), TCs and others regarding research, technologies and concepts that the Society should be investigating. Their work is of an advisory nature, and they work within the other procedures outlined in this manual. Research Priorities Proposed research topics that address in part or whole the broad themes/topics of the Societys Research Strategic Plan will receive first priority in research funding if approved by RAC. Project topics not related to the strategic plan can still be submitted for review and may be approved for funding if, in the opinion of RAC membership, the topic is timely and needed,, but the odds of this type of approval are less. Each year RAC develops a priority list of research topics for further development that have been proposed by TCs to RAC in the form of a Research Topic Acceptance Request (RTAR). This list is called the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan, and it represents the Societys efforts to implement the Research Strategic Plans goals. In addition to projects originated by TCs in the form of RTARs and Work Statements, ASHRAE also supports projects originated by individual researchers in the form of Unsolicited Research Proposal or International Research Proposal. In either case, projects that address the goals of the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan have a higher probability of being approved for ASHRAE funding. Research Classifications ASHRAE Research Projects are classified as follows: Basic and Applied Research, which constitute the majority of the projects and utilize the majority of the research funding. Advanced Concepts Research that has been allocated up to 10% of research funding. Research Related to Technology Transfer as described in Appendix 1 1

Research Approval Process for Projects Initiated by RTARs (Note: Currently, for projects up to $100k only approval by RAC is needed. For projects between $100k and $200k required approval by both RAC and Technology Council. Projects above $200k require approval by RAC, Technology Council, and Board of Directors. The flowchart below will be revised to reflect the above change in the approval level required.)

2. GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN GUIDES AND OTHER SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS AS RESEARCH PROJECTS Background ASHRAE research funding is sometimes used to fund Design Guides. The need for this funding has increased in recent years because special publications funding the traditional source of funding for practitioner publications is now only used when outside funding is available. Policy The Research Administration Committee (RAC) feels it is appropriate for approximately 10% of the research budget to be used for developing design or application guides. The 10% number is not meant to be a strict allocation; in some years research funding for design guide development may be significantly greater or less than 10%. In submitting the RTAR requesting a design guide, the TC must make the case that this is appropriate for ASHRAE research funding. Allocating research dollars to this purpose is appropriate as long as some (or all) of the following criteria are met: The design guide summarizes, combines, or integrates research results from new (less than 10 years old) ASHRAE research project(s) or other new sources The results have not been summarized anywhere else There is a clear need to boil down or present the research findings in a more understandable form in order for design engineers and other practitioners to adopt or use the findings or approaches. The urgency to produce or update the design guide, respecting the ASHRAE strategic plan, should be justified. If the proposed project is a design guide revision: o Substantially new research, information, technologies, products, or approaches are lacking in the original guide o The original design guide is about 15 or more years old. Design Guide Projects NOT appropriate for funding would include: Editorial modifications to update references to outdated standards Editorial modifications to adopt more contemporary language: (geothermal vs. ground source heat pumps; cogeneration vs. CHP, green or LEED buildings, etc) Some past, ongoing and proposed Design Guides (from MORTS report): Underfloor Air Distribution Design Guide Designers Guide for Ceiling-Based Air Diffusion Laboratory Design Guide Design Guide for Tall Commercial Buildings 1267-RP, Development Of An ASHRAE Design Manual For District Heating And Cooling Systems TC 6.02 1180-RP, Design Guide for Duct Systems, TC 5.2 TRP1369, Design Guidelines To Prevent Snow Causing Shutdown Of HVAC Systems TC 5.2

3. RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN &RESEARCH TOPIC ACCEPTANCE REQUESTS (RTARs)

3.1 Relationship between TC/TG/SSPC and Society Research Plans Each TC (and TG, SSPC and other committee sponsoring research projects) should develop and maintain a longrange research plan, which is a prioritized list of prospective research topics. These Research Plans should be continually updated and documented in the TCs minutes for the benefit of incoming Chairs and other interested parties. Research Topic Acceptance Requests (RTARs) are used by the TC to advance research topics from the TCs longrange research plans to the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan. Among other things, the RTAR must demonstrate the research topic supports the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan. Work Statements (WSs) are the means by which TCs transform approved topics on the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan into research projects, for which the Society solicits bids. Projects with WSs approved for funding by the Society but not yet awarded to the contractor are referred to as Tentative Research Projects (TRPs). Projects awarded to the contractor but not yet completed are classified as Research Projects (RPs). Within ASHRAE the term Sponsoring TC is used to designate the committee which is putting forward first the RTAR, then the WS, and is responsible for selecting the contractor (with assistance of a Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee) and oversight of the project (with assistance of a Project Monitoring Subcommittee). Other committees may assist the Sponsoring TC in this effort; they are referred to as Co-Sponsoring TC(s). The products of ASHRAE research include improved standards, handbooks, guidelines, codes; special publications, software, web-based tools; and papers and journal articles that advance HVAC&R science and technology. ASHRAE research is the technical underpinning of the Society. It all starts with ideas for research to satisfy a Society need, and these ideas generally originate in the TCs. The bottom-up process just described, and the relationships between TC and Society research plans are summarized in the table below.

3.2 RTAR Submission and Approval Process a) Pick a topic that ranks highly on the TCs long-range research plan (if topics have little support at the TC level they are unlikely to be approved by the Society) and can be described in a manner that demonstrates clear support of the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan (Navigation for a Sustainable Future). b) Do your homework: Review the key literature and demonstrate you have done so by citing the key references. Demonstrate a firm grasp of relevant prior work. Clearly define the state-of-the-art and information gaps. Define a valuable and doable objective. Identify the specific goals served within the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan, to what degree and why. Clearly define the advancement to the state-of-the-art and provide quantitative estimates of the improvement expected wherever possible. Clearly define the justification and value to ASHRAE, being as quantitative and specific as possible. Obtain TC vote and address all negative and abstention votes by providing the reasons and a solid response. Provide realistic estimated project costs and duration. Coordinate with other relevant TC and seek a letter of support from the interested TC Chairs. Actively solicit interest among possible co-funding organizations and seek a letter of support from an authorized representative. ASHRAEs Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) can assist with this. Provide ALL required information. c) Work with your Research Liaison: Have your RAC Liaison review the RTAR before the TC vote. Liaisons can identify reasons the RTAR might be returned, so reduce cycle time to approval by obtaining this feedback before voting the RTAR forward and submitting it to MORTS/RAC. Make sure your Research Liaison is informed. A Liaison knowledgeable about your project is better able to be a proponent for the approval of your project at RAC. If your project is sufficiently unusual, controversial, or urgent notify, your Liaison that you intend to send a TC emissary to the RAC meeting to speak directly to RAC on the projects behalf, and to answer questions. d) Submit RTARs by May 15, August 15 or December 15 to be considered by RAC at the Annual Meeting, Fall Technology Weekend, or Winter Meeting, respectively. e) There is no limit to the number of RTARs that a TC can submit. However, approved topics are taken off of the Societys Research Implementation Plan two years after approval unless a WS based on the RTAR has been submitted. Therefore it is recommended that RTAR submittals be limited to those where timely WS submittal is likely. f) Since the purpose of submitting RTARs is inclusion of the topic in the Societys Research Implementation Plan, it is pointless to submit RTARs for topics already on the Societys Research Implementation Plan that have been submitted by another TC. If you have suggestions about such a topic on the Plan, you may contact the cognizant TC Chair to discuss preparation of a joint Work Statement. g) Topics that expire from the Societys Research Implementation Plan may be resubmitted for approval to be reinstated. h) MORTS assigns I.D. numbers to submitted RTARs. Individual RAC members grade them Priority, Accept, Return or Reject. MORTS distributes the consolidated grades and comments to all the RAC members, and RAC convenes (Annual Meeting, Fall Technology Weekend, or Winter Meeting) and discusses the RTARs and votes to Accept, Conditionally Accept, Return or Reject each RTAR. Accept means RAC recommends to Technology Council that the RTAR be accepted. 5

Attachment #2

Conditionally accept means that only minor refinements to the RTAR are required, and when these have been made to the satisfaction of the Research Liaison, then RAC recommends to Technology Council that the RTAR be accepted without further consideration by the full RAC. Return means that RAC generally supports the topic but the current RTAR is inadequate and the required revisions are substantial enough that the full RAC must participate in reconsideration. Reject means that RAC does not believe the topic is appropriate for ASHRAE research. i) In the case of conditional acceptance by RAC, the Research Liaison has the discretion to determine whether a full TC re-vote is required on the refined RTAR that is accepted by RAC. j) If RAC recommends Accept and Technology Council agrees, then the topic is added to the Societys Research Implementation Plan. RAC members may still have comments or suggestions about Accepted RTARs. These comments are conveyed to the TC in a letter from MORTS informing the Committee the RTAR has been accepted. It is RACs intent to approve RTARs whenever possible. This means that an accepted RTAR is likely to have comments, and the TC should address these when the WS is prepared. k) RTARs may be returned to the TC, either because RAC or Technology Council voted to do so. Since these votes occur within a matter of days, in either event the TC will receive a letter from MORTS within a month of the vote, providing the comments that were the basis for returning the RTAR. l) TC re-submitting a returned RTAR must conduct a full TC re-vote and reflect the results on the RTAR. In addition, the RTAR must be returned with a cover letter that provides a point-by-point response to each RAC (or Technology Council) comment explaining how the RTAR was revised in light of the comment or justifying no change.

3.5 Example RTAR Review Summary from RAC When RAC meets, they use the RTAR Review Summary form below to help guide their discussion of the RTAR. In many cases, a RAC members initial disposition decision on a particular RTAR may change after reading other members comments on the summary form and after participating to the meeting discussion of the RTAR. A final version of the review summary form, which reflects the discussion and final decision that was made by RAC on the RTAR during the meeting, is developed and used as the basis for the return letter to the TC/TG/SSPC or EHC.

4. WORK STATEMENTS 4.1 Work Statement Development and Approval Process The Work Statement (WS) is normally the responsibility of the Research Subcommittee of a TC (or TG, SSPC, and other committees sponsoring research projects), which should prepare Work Statements for each approved RTAR. The RTARs are developed into Work Statements and are sent to the ASHRAE MORTS. These work statements will be reviewed by RAC to determine if they define a clear and obtainable research result, propose a viable technical approach, and are likely to interest several competitive bidders. A biddable Work Statement clearly explains the objectives, scope, and deliverables. A WS derived from a RAC-approved RTAR has already been determined to be an appropriate research project for ASHRAE. This means that it will advance the state of the art, provide value to ASHRAE membership, and support the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan. The ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan (RIP) lists all approved RTARs and all pending and approved for bid work statements submitted to RAC. The RIP is posted on the ASHRAE Web-site for reference. A Work Statement should be prepared immediately after the RTAR is approved by RAC. A Work Statement may be prepared and submitted without a preliminary RTAR approval if, for example, there is an extremely time-critical need for results. There should be a strong justification for this. However, the TC risks having its basic research goal not approved or needing to rewrite the WS extensively. The RTAR approval is designed: To ensure that the topic is suitable for ASHRAE research and the TC addresses the goals of the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan. To allow RAC and Tech Council to review the approach and suggest additional references, identify other TCs that should be consulted, and/or suggest enhancements or refinements to the suggested technical approach. Submission of the RTAR is designed to speed the overall process reducing the time to go from research idea to release of the Request for Bids. When preparing a WS, the TC may ask specialists in the area of the Work Statement to assist, even potential bidders. Care must be taken to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest. To do this, the principal authors of the Work Statement will be identified on the Work Statement Cover Sheet. Subsequently, bidders who assisted in Work Statement preparation will identify themselves as such in their proposal, and evaluators will satisfy themselves that these preparers did not gain an unfair advantage. The TC should also consider other TCs, which have direct or related interest in the subject project and invite them to participate in the Work Statement preparation, to vote to endorse the WS, and to have representatives on the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) and the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS). In preparing a Work Statement for a project dealing with the monitoring of buildings in the field, the "Recommendations for the Design of ASHRAE Sponsored Field Monitoring Projects" contained in Appendix 2 should be considered. In preparing a Work Statement associated with Computational Fluid Dynamics, the Guidelines for the Selection and Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics, in Appendix 3 should be reviewed and considered. The TC Research Subcommittee members shall forward a draft of the Work Statement to their Research Liaison who will provide suggestions for improvement or compliance with ASHRAE practices. They then present the Work Statement to the full TC at one of the semi-annual meetings, or by letter or e-mail ballot, for a vote of approval. The TC members should have received the Work Statement sufficiently prior to the meeting so that each member can review it in depth and comment and vote intelligently. Any negative votes or abstentions from the TC members should be explained. Any dissenting member or corresponding member should be invited to submit comments that will be conveyed to RAC with the WS and cover letter. After approval by the TC, a copy of the Work Statement and a completed Work Statement Cover Sheet shall be sent to the ASHRAE Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) and to the TC's Research Liaison by May 15, August 15, or December 15. The submittals should be in electronic format, preferably in Microsoft Word and Excel. The MORTS distributes the Work Statements to the members of RAC. 1

RACs evaluation of a Work Statement may result in one of four possible outcomes: - RAC approves the WS. - RAC approves the WS conditionally with comments. The Research Liaison then has the authority to approve the WS after RACs comments have been implemented. The Research Liaison also has the discretion to decide whether the modified WS needs a full TC re-vote, based on the extent of modifications. - RAC returns the WS with comments. TC needs to implement the RAC comments and approve the modified WS by a vote. A cover letter explaining how the RAC comments were implemented should accompany the WS sent back to MORTS and RAC. If the TC disagrees with the RAC on any of the comments, the cover letter should also explain the reasons for not implementing the RAC comment. - RAC rejects the WS with comments. RAC-approved Work Statements are designated as Tentative Research Projects (TRPs). When deciding which TRPs will be sent out for bid, RAC considers the pool of all TRPs (currently approved Work Statements and previously approved Work Statements that were not released for bid due to insufficient funding), and RAC-approved Unsolicited Research Proposals. Table-A is the RAC prioritization criteria for Work Statements when funding is limited and not all approved WS can be put out for bid.

The Work Statement should be accompanied by a Cover Sheet as shown in Section 3.3. Section 3.4 contains a Work Statement outline, which explains each element in detail. Appendix 4 is an example of a Cover Sheet and Overall value of the project and the research, as well as contribution well-written Work Statement.

to ASHRAEs Research Plan(s), to ASHRAE and Society

4.3 Work Statement Cover Sheet Note: the above factors are not listed in any particular order that all or importance The purpose of the Work Statement Cover Sheet is to ensureor level WS items are complete. Also, the Cover Sheet: records the votes of the sponsoring and all co-sponsoring TCs on the Work Statement lists the members of the subcommittees which will evaluate the proposals and monitor the project, recommends suggested bidders, denotes which Handbook chapters or other ASHRAE publications will be affected by the results of the research, lists the Work Statements authors, lists at least three prospective bidders in addition to any Work Statement authors who may bid. It is preferable, but not required, that the authors of the Work Statement also serve on the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) and Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS). Any persons who bid on the WS, or who are members of organizations who bid on the WS, cannot serve on the PES or PMS. While desirable, it is not necessary that the PES and PMS be comprised of the same people. The PES/PMS should be composed of 3 to 5 sponsoring or co-sponsoring TC members with particular knowledge and experience in the subject of the project, but who do not plan to submit a proposal on the work. In special cases, persons other than TC members may be appointed as PES/PMS members if their particular expertise is not available within the TC or if a co-funding agency is also supporting the project. They are named by the TC Chairman and approved by the Research Liaison or MORTS. The Research Liaison and MORTS are ex-officio non-voting members of the PES and PMS. 3

Attachment #2

If interest by other organizations in co-sponsoring the project is known, suspected, or even considered a possibility, the name, address, and phone number of the proper contact should be furnished on the Work Statement Cover Sheet as a potential sponsor. Once a written letter of support is obtained by a TC from a potential co-sponsor, the ASHRAE MORTS will finalize a co-sponsorship agreement with that organization or individual for the project. Normally about 60 days is allowed for proposal preparation by potential bidders. Certain projects by their nature may require longer proposal preparation time. This may be due to the need to establish relationships with coinvestigators, subcontractors, material or equipment suppliers or owners of test sites. If this is anticipated, the TC should request an extended bidding period. This will delay the start of the project but will result in better proposals and better results. Where needed, TC should request this on the Work Statement Cover Sheet. To minimize the occurrence of single bidders, the TC shall provide on the Cover Sheet the names of at least three qualified potential bidders who were not involved in development of the WS. If a WS is not accompanied by the names of at least three such individuals, it shall not be approved by RAC but sent back to the TC for this information. In addition to the usual process of posting the WS to solicit bids, these recommended bidders shall be individually notified by the MORTS when the project is put out for bid. .

4.4 Work Statement Outline WORK STATEMENT# (Same as RTAR#) SPONSORING TC/TG/SSPC:# & NAME CO-SPONSORING TC/TG/SSPCs (List only TC/TG/SSPC s that have voted formal support) Title: (Same as RTAR) Executive Summary: (100 word statement that could be used at the BOD level to succinctly summarize the current state-of-the-art, the advancement this project is expected to accomplish, and its value to ASHRAE and society in general.) Applicability to the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan: (Import RTAR list of specific goals of the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan this project will support by name and number. State how the proposed project will help achieve the goals. If the RTAR was submitted before July, 2010, the goals from the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan 2005-2010 (Navigation for a Sustainable Future) may be addressed if the TC desires. For RTAR (or WS) submitted after July 2010, please indicate whether the proposed project supports any of the 11 strategic goals of the latest ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan 2010-2015. Projects are not required to contribute directly to the 11 strategic goals, but those that do will more likely be given a higher priority for funding when research funds are limited.) Application of Results: (Import RTAR list of handbook chapters/special publications etc. to be affected by results of this project. Explain how the results of the proposed project will be disseminated by the TC in practical terms to general ASHRAE membership and society in general. What are the practical benefits expected from this research? Is this project one piece of a larger plan of action developed by the TC?) State-of-the-Art (Background): (Import RTAR description of the amount and quality of past research, and quantify existing gaps.) Advancement to the State-of-the-Art: (Import RTAR description or quantitative estimate of the improvement expected from this research [i.e. x% energy reduction in product y or building type z, x% increase in heat transfer coefficient between y and z, or x% reduction in design time to do y, etc.], and explain why this information is needed by the public or by industry.) Justification and Value to ASHRAE: (Import RTAR identification by number, profession, or industry the ASHRAE members who will benefit. State the likelihood and how the improvement would be adopted by industry.) Objectives: (Import RTAR explanation of projects goals and how this project will accomplish its intended advancement to the state-of-the-art [i.e. a computer simulation will be used to do x, a computer simulation will be developed for x and verified using laboratory data from tests y and z, field test data will be obtained from x and used to do y].) Scope/Technical Approach: (Provide a complete description of technical approach and task statement. Describe the parameters of the research project, including such items as: subject matter to be explored; materials, equipment, literature or other variables to be researched; materials, equipment, etc to be excluded from the project; outline the research methods to be used; description of the standards to be followed; discussion of how the data is to be reduced, analyzed and presented; description of the format for the reported results; if appropriate, describe project phases. It is important for the scope of a research project to be broken down into tasks or phases, where a task will yield results of interest to the TC and the PMS, or where the results of a task will significantly define how subsequent tasks will be carried out. Make sure that the project objectives are reflected in the tasks. The Work Statement should 6

specify deliverables corresponding to these tasks in the Deliverables section to facilitate project monitoring by the PMS.) Deliverables/Where Results Will Be Published: Insert generic ASHRAE requirements (listed below) as well as and any project-specific requirements defined in the Scope section. Each major task or phase of the research method outlined in the Scope should be linked to a deliverable report, memorandum, or summary. Items a through e below are generic ASHRAE requirements a contractor is required to provide on every ASHRAE research project. These cover: Quarterly progress and financial reports to MORTS (to be reviewed by the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS)). A final report. A research or technical paper, submitted for peer review and publication in the ASHRAE Transactions or HVAC&R Research. Any data obtained from the research. A project summary. Progress, Financial and Final Reports, Research or Technical Paper(s), and Data shall constitute required deliverables (Deliverables) under this Agreement and shall be provided as follows: a. Progress and Financial Reports Progress and Financial Reports, in a form approved by the Society, shall be made to the Society through its Manager of Research and Technical Services at quarterly intervals; specifically on or before each January 1, April 1, June 10, and October 1 of the contract period. Furthermore, the Institutions Principal Investigator, subject to the Societys approval, shall, during the period of performance and after the Final Report has been submitted, report in person to the sponsoring Technical Committee/Task Group (TC/TG) at the annual and winter meetings, and be available to answer such questions regarding the research as may arise. b. Final Report A written report, design guide, or manual, (collectively, Final Report), in a form approved by the Society, shall be prepared by the Institution and submitted to the Societys Manager of Research and Technical Services by the end of the Agreement term, containing complete details of all research carried out under this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, six copies of the final report shall be furnished for review by the Societys Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS). Following approval by the PMS and the TC/TG, in their sole discretion, final copies of the Final Report will be furnished by the Institution as follows: c. An executive summary in a form suitable for wide distribution to the industry and to the public. Two bound copies One unbound copy, printed on one side only, suitable for reproduction. Two copies on CD-ROM; one in PDF format and one in Microsoft Word.

HVAC&R Research or ASHRAE Transactions Technical Paper One or more papers shall be submitted first to the ASHRAE Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) and then to the ASHRAE Manuscript Central website-based manuscript review system in a form and containing such information as designated by the Society suitable for publication. Papers specified as 7

Attachment #2

deliverables should be submitted as either Research Papers for HVAC&R Research or Technical Paper(s) for ASHRAE Transactions. Research papers contain generalized results of long-term archival value, whereas technical papers are appropriate for applied research of shorter-term value, ASHRAE Conference papers are not acceptable as deliverables from ASHRAE research projects. The paper(s) shall conform to the instructions posted in Manuscript Central for an ASHRAE Transactions Technical or HVAC&R Research paper. The paper title shall contain the research project number (XXXX-RP) at the end of the title in parentheses, e.g., (XXXX-RP). Note: A research or technical paper describing the research project must be submitted after the TC has approved the Final Report. Research or technical papers may also be prepared before the projects completion, if it is desired to disseminate interim results of the project. Contractor shall submit any interim papers to MORTS and the PMS for review and approval before the papers are submitted to ASHRAE Manuscript Central for review. d. Data The Institution agrees to maintain true and complete books and records, including but not limited to notebooks, reports, charts, graphs, analyses, computer programs, visual representations etc., (collectively, the Data), generated in connection with the Services. Society representatives shall have access to all such Data for examination and review at reasonable times. The Data shall be held in strict confidence by the Institution and shall not be released to third parties without prior authorization from the Society, except as provided by GENERAL CONDITION VII, PUBLICATION. The original Data shall be kept on file by the Institution for a period of two years after receipt of the final payment and upon request the Institution will make a copy available to the Society upon the Societys request. e. Project Synopsis A written synopsis totaling approximately 100 words in length and written for a broad technical audience, which documents 1. Main findings of research project, 2. Why findings are significant, and 3. How the findings benefit ASHRAE membership and/or society in general shall be submitted to the Manager of Research and Technical Services by the end of the Agreement term for publication in ASHRAE Insights The Society may request the Institution submit a technical article suitable for publication in the Societys ASHRAE JOURNAL. This is considered a voluntary submission and not a Deliverable. All Deliverables under this Agreement and voluntary technical articles shall be prepared using dual units; e.g., rational inch-pound with equivalent SI units shown parenthetically. SI usage shall be in accordance with IEEE/ASTM Standard SI-10. The above deliverables are necessary, but not sufficient, to monitor a research project. The PMS and the sponsoring TC have the responsibility to review the contractors on-going activities and intermediate results, to ensure that the methods used and results obtained will be valid and well-enough substantiated to be labeled as ASHRAE-approved findings. Proper oversight cannot wait until the final report, when most of the budget has already been expended. Therefore, each major task or phase of the research method outlined in the Scope should also be linked to a deliverable report, memorandum, or summary. These in-progress deliverables should not add to the cost of the project, as they will most likely become chapters of the final report. However, they should help the TC avoid unpleasant surprises due to the research not being conducted according to the TCs expectations. Examples of deliverables that could be required during the project include: If one task is a literature review, then the deliverable could be an annotated list of references and conclusions/summary of the current state of the art. If the contractor must propose specific sites (e.g., buildings), experiment topologies (e.g., duct configurations), materials (e.g., refrigerants, appliances, insulation or building materials), experiment 8

Attachment #2

protocols, and/or instrumentation, then short memos describing those proposed methods, materials, etc. should be deliverables to be reviewed and approved by the PMS before moving on to the next research task. If analysis of preliminary data or results will decide how to proceed (e.g., CFD models of 12 duct configurations will be used to select 2 duct configurations to be built and subjected to wind tunnel tests), then the contractor should write up the results of the initial analysis, recommend the areas for further more detailed investigation, and justify those recommendations. If data from the research are expected to modify or update a Handbook table, then the procedure for developing the updated table from the data should be specified and provided to the PMS as a deliverable. (The final report may also require the contractor to prepare a proposed updated table based on the observed data.) In short, the technical approach for a research project should be broken down into tasks or phases, and where a task will yield results of interest to the TC and the PMS, or where the results of a task will significantly define how subsequent tasks will be carried out. The Work Statement should specify such deliverables for the PMS to review. This approach will make it easier for the PMS and MORTS to gauge progress and technical merit of on-going ASHRAE research projects, and will provide a framework for the cognizant TCs to provide technical oversight and assistance to identify and correct problems as they occur.) Level of Effort: (Include estimates of professional-months by category, calendar-months, and total dollars. An example is: The project anticipates 3 professional-months for the principal investigator and 8 professional-months for a research technician. The estimated cost is $60,000 and the project is expected to take 12 months.) Other Information for Bidders (Optional): (This section should contain any other information that is not contained elsewhere. This could include information about relationships with the monitoring subcommittee, reports other than the normal quarterly progress reports, special personnel or facilities required by the proposer, special instructions regarding what the proposal should contain, or information as to how the proposals will be evaluated. It is not necessary to include references to quarterly progress reports, semi-annual reports in person to the TC final reports or papers.) Proposal Evaluation Criteria: (Include specific list of criteria and weighting factors that will be used to evaluate proposals. This section should also include a list of the criteria the PES will use to evaluate proposals and select a contractor to recommend. This must include Weighting Factors for the Evaluation Form. It may be the basic list or a subset of the list in the Proposal Evaluation Form and can also include additional categories such as special experience, credentials, equipment or facilities the WS authors think are necessary.) The commonly used evaluation criteria include: The commonly used evaluation criteria (and sample weighting factors) are listed below. The WS may include some or all of these criteria, using whatever weighting factors the TC feels are appropriate. For example, a project involving simulation models may not depend upon facilities, while experience of the PI in simulation modeling may be crucial. For performance testing of appliances, however, the quality of the Contractors facilities may be very important. 1.

References: (Import or expand the RTAR list of references to any articles, papers, books, etc., that were used in preparing the Work Statement and/or that would be of assistance to the bidders. All listed references should be readily available to contractors.) Authors: (List those individuals who were principal authors of the Work Statement.) If any of the Work Statement authors plan to bid on the project, care must be taken to avoid actual or perceived conflict of interest. In particular, the requirements of the Work Statement should not be tailored to a unique Work Statement authors facility, equipment, or capability that is not reasonably available to other bidders. If WS authors bid on the project, they must identify themselves as such in their proposals, and the evaluators must satisfy themselves that these preparers did not gain an unfair advantage before their proposal may be considered. If it is determined that a submitted proposal does exhibit a conflict of interest, then that proposal should be identified, not evaluated, and written reasons given along with evaluations of the other proposals. Attached are a sample Work Statement Cover Sheet and a sample Work Statement. They should be used as a guide in completing, reviewing and submitting Work Statements. [NOTE: The actual WS and the TC votes on which this is based have been edited to better illustrate some of the points made in this Research Manual.]

4.5 Tips for Writing an Effective Work Statement A Work Statement is a document that is utilized to convince ASHRAE to fund research projects and inform the bidders what is expected to be in the final results. The Work Statement contains different items and is found in the Work Statement outline in Section 3.4 of this manual. Incomplete (unclear) entries in these items will lead to delays in approving the Work Statement. Project Justification Is the project included in the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan (i.e., was an RTAR submitted and approved by RAC), or is there a strong rationale provided for submitting the Work Statement without a prior RTAR submittal? The Executive Summary, Application of Results, State of the Art (background and advancement) sections shall be brief and right to the point about how the project will be a benefit to ASHRAE Society and its members. Are project benefits evident? Alternatively, are adverse impacts of not pursuing the project apparent? Will the results still be useful when completed? Do the project objectives fall within ASHRAEs Scope? Involvement of outside professions in performing all or part of the work does not necessarily negate pertinence. Is the project consistent with the Societys Research Strategic Plan? List specific goals in the Plan that are addressed by the proposed research. Is the project original (e.g., not an unnecessary duplication of other research completed or underway)? Repetition of prior research may be desirable if pertinent facets have changed, the results are not publicly available, or confirmation is justified. Projects resulting in products that compete with commercial offerings are generally not approved. If previous projects need updating, has the sponsoring TC (original project) been contacted? Project Definition If there is more than one objective to the project, is the sequence defined? Have all avenues been examined to determine a more economical alternate to achieving the objective? Is there a contingency plan, in case the objectives are not met? Subsequent phases or follow-on projects are not precluded, but specific projects should provide at least interim results that are beneficial on their own (e.g., no half tunnels). Would segmenting the project preclude useful interim results or degrade effective procurement of the research needed? Is the work or likely results free of potential legal problems and of prejudicial implications to a single manufacturer or class of manufacturers? Are the recommended bidders knowledgeable enough about subject matters of the project to insure success of the project? Are proposal options recommended for inclusion clearly justified? Cost Is the proposed level of effort and funding commensurate with work required? Is the proposed level of effort and funding commensurate with the projects expected benefits? 11

Attachment #2

Can the ASHRAE research budget afford the project for its duration? Consider whether the project can or should be funded protracted for budgetary reasons. Is there a commitment for co-funding? Did ASHRAE receive a letter (on company letterhead) with the amount of co-funding? Suitability Is the background adequately presented? Are the individual tasks understandable and achievable (e.g., not seeking impossible or improbable results)? Note that high risk (with commensurate high benefits if successful) research is allowable, but it should be so noted in the TCs cover letter conveying the WS to MORTS. Are the tasks likely to satisfy the project objectives? Does the work statement foster fair competition? Is sufficient detail provided to enable competitive pricing? Are ambiguous tasks (e.g., scope determinations by the Project Monitoring Subcommittee) that could alter contractor costs avoided? No implication is intended that the PMS cannot or should not review the work and approve scheduled decisions or selections, provided that such alternatives entail similar effort and costs. Is the justification adequate for required use of specified proprietary products or methods? Are all of the tasks appropriate for ASHRAE research? Are the products to be delivered clearly identified? Are appropriate references adequately cited and available? Have copies of unpublished references been provided for distribution with the request for proposals? Are at least three prospective bidders that were not involved in preparation of work statement identified? Is a realistic project duration indicated? Has the Work Statement been reviewed by other related TCs for accuracy and determination whether other previous projects were completed requesting similar results? Has a Project Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) been proposed for approval? If other TCs co-authored the Work Statement, are they included in this Subcommittee? Has a Project Monitoring Subcommittee been proposed for approval? If other TCs co-authored the Work Statement, are they included in this Subcommittee? Has the work statement been coordinated with other organizations committees? Have they been asked for cofunding? Other Considerations Are there other reasons to support the project (e.g., Presidential goals, emerging societal issues, requests from ASHRAE affiliates or other organizations)? Is the project likely to contribute to a Handbook update, a proposed ASHRAE or industry standard, or a ASHRAE Journal article of broad interest? 12

Attachment #2

For projects involving Special Publications, is/are the sponsoring committee(s) qualified and prepared to provide adequate review of the work to imply endorsement of the resulting document by ASHRAE as an accepted reference? Is the project likely to provide an educational opportunity for HVAC&R students? Is the project likely to enhance the Society's image (e.g., will ASHRAE gain recognition for pursuing it or, alternately, incur censure if ASHRAE ignores it?) Additional Tips RAC provides training at the Societys meetings for individuals involved in initiating research projects. welcomes suggestions on topics to be covered.

RAC

Each TC has a Research Liaison that is a member of RAC. The Work Statement should be reviewed by the liaison prior to submitting the Work Statement to headquarters. This person will provide assistance in making sure that the Work Statement contains the required information for review. RAC encourages TCs to prepare and submit Work Statements responsive to Possible Research Projects listed in the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan. Work Statements for projects not listed in the Plan may be prepared and submitted, but a strong justification for approval should be included. RAC is obligated to meet the funding guidelines set by the Board and reflected in the annual Research Budget. If considerably more Work Statements have been approved for bid than the research funding available, bidding on those Work Statements that are less responsive to the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan may be delayed. Below is a list of common reasons for returning a Work Statement.

Need for Coordination Cost Problems Weak Justification Scope Lacks Clarity Unable to Bid Missing Information Does not Conform to ASHRAE Policy

The need for coordination among pertinent TCs, TGs, TRGs, SSPCs, and standing committees. Authors must realize that many projects have a rather broad technical base. For instance, a project by a TC concerned with equipment design may cover the development of computer algorithms for operating energy calculations. The project could benefit from coordination with a TC that is expert on energy calculations and may have already developed standardized algorithm formats on other projects. If a TC proposes work in a technical area that falls partly or totally under the scope of another TC, both TCs should review the work statement before it is submitted to RAC. This would help assure RAC that the work had not already been done, the plan is technically correct, and there is a need for research. It would also be an advantage to have a technical expert from the other TC on the project monitoring subcommittee. The cost caused return of work statements. ASHRAE expects to get a good value from the approved projects. The sponsoring committee should conduct a critical review of the estimated cost before the work statement is submitted. Sometimes the scope is too broad and can be reduced to those items that are of immediate need to the TC. Also, unnecessary travel or equipment expenses should be omitted. ASHRAE expects contractors to provide test facilities and equipment in most cases. If the level can't be reduced, it would be advantageous to either suggest additional sources of funding or to segment the project into two or more individually funded phases. RAC Research Liaisons can be a good source of advice on this subject. Weak justification and value to ASHRAE, industry and society. It is extremely important to state your case for the proposed work clearly and completely. RAC members who review work statements normally are not as 13

Attachment #2

knowledgeable in the proposed area of technology as are the authors. RAC members depend on information provided in the background and justification sections of the work statement to understand the need for the research and the benefits to ASHRAE, the public or the industry. If RAC is not convinced by the work statement that there is a need commensurate with the proposed level of effort and cost, the committee may reject a work statement outright or return it for clarification. Typically, the authors of a returned work statement and TC discuss new arguments justifying their revised work statement to carefully resolve issues raised by RAC. RAC requests that these new arguments be added to the revised justification so there is a good written record to benefit all parties who will be using the work statement in the future. The scopes lack clarity. Many times the tasks do not satisfy the stated objectives of the research, nor are they related to the objectives. The scope is the heart of the work statement and contains key information the contractor needs to prepare a bid. It should describe in some detail the parameters of the research, including items such as:

The subject matter to be explored; Materials, equipment literature or other variables to be researched; An outline of the research method(s) to be used; A discussion of any standards to be followed in conducting the research; Consideration of how the data obtained might be reduced, analyzed and presented; A description of the form in which the results will be reported; and, A description of each task and each distinct phase of the project.

The work statements were not biddable. Authors should put themselves in the bidder's position and ask, "Can I bid this project? Is there enough information? Are the tasks clear and logical or are they ambiguous?" If one task depends on the results of another, it would be very difficult for the contractor to estimate the second task. It might be better, under the circumstances, to write the work statement to do the earlier task as the first phase. Then, after the results are known, write a follow-on work statement for a second phase. The work statements were not complete. To help solve this problem, RAC implemented a Work Statement Cover Sheet that must be completed and submitted with the work statement. It has a checklist for outline items and provides a good place for recording other required information such as the TC vote record, the work statement authors and the proposed project monitoring committee members. The work statements didn't conform to ASHRAE policy. For instance, work statements to develop computer algorithms must comply with ASHRAE's policy on algorithms. In other instances, work statements have had the objective of developing computer software. If the authors had recognized in the beginning that it is ASHRAE policy not to develop and market software, the work statement could have been written to develop only the basic computational techniques, which would have satisfied the research need. Another example is the work statement that proposes to develop a product, such as a sensor. Understanding that it is against ASHRAE policy to do research for product development, the authors could have directed the proposal toward developing the basic principles of an expanded sensing capability. The work statement proposes to evaluate products or proprietary technologies. Again, this is against ASHRAE's policy on commercialism, and should be avoided. Research Liaisons should be able to help with policy questions before work statements are approved by the TC.

5. PROJECTS APPROVED FOR BIDDING Following approval by RAC, the Work Statement, now designated a Tentative Research Project (TRP), is edited by the Manager of Research and Technical Services, incorporated into a request-for-proposal (RFP) and made available to potential contractors. A sample of the other material, which normally is distributed with the TRP, is shown on the following pages. The Manager of Research and Technical Services maintains a listserv of research project potential contractors who have expressed interest and expertise in various fields of research interest to ASHRAE (http://www.ashrae.org/technology/page/39) These contractors are informed by an e-mail as to the availability of new RFPs posted for bid by ASHRAE. The TC/TG is encouraged to designate other qualified contractors who may wish to receive the RFP. When the schedule permits, a notice is placed in the ASHRAE JOURNAL/INSIGHTS, and a release made to the trade press, to advertise the RFP to a larger audience who may not be on the list of potential contractors. The RFPs are also listed on the Research Page of the (http://www.ashrae.org/technology/page/39 ) and may be downloaded by interested bidders. ASHRAE website

At the time the RFP is sent to potential contractors, a copy is sent to the Chairman of the sponsoring TC/TG. He/she is asked to confirm that the Technical Contact for bidders technical questions and the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) membership has not changed and that they will evaluate the proposals received in response to the RFP. The Technical Contact is usually a member of the TC and he or she is available and qualified to answer technical questions regarding the RFP from potential bidders during the bid period (60 days typically). The ideal candidate for this position is a WS author who also serves on the PES. In addition to answering technical questions, the Technical Contact must also record all questions and responses so that this information can be relayed to all registered bidders one week prior to the due date for bids. The MORTS will obtain this information from the Technical Contact approximately one week prior to the bid due date and distribute it to all potential bidders that have registered their interest in the project.

PROPOSAL FORMATTING GUIDELINES a. Enclosed with the Request for Proposal (RFP) are copies of two forms, Application for Grant of Funds and Additional Information for Potential Contractors. These forms must be completed and signed copies of each must be included with your proposal submission. Proposals may be submitted in either hardcopy or electronic format. Electronic submissions are sent to rpbids@ashrae.org. Hardcopy submissions must include 15 bound copies of the proposal and the required forms. This number of copies is requested so that the Proposal may be sent to members of the various committees responsible for its review and evaluation. The Proposal should include data in sufficient detail for proper evaluation, covering your approach to the subject, an estimate of the time and cost involved, a work completion schedule and the qualifications of the person, or persons, who would accept responsibility for the Project. All units should be reported in the inch-pound system, with SI units shown parenthetically, in accordance with the ASHRAE Metric Guide. All proposals shall contain the following statement at the bottom of the title page: "Members of the research team did not participate in the preparation of the ASHRAEs Request for Proposal on which this proposal is based." d. In order to facilitate the receipt, processing, distribution and evaluation of proposals in hardcopy format, the following are strongly suggested: Staple proposals. No notebooks, plastic bindings/spines or covers, no advertising inserts or attachments. Print on both sides of paper. Limit biographies/rsums/CVs to 3 or 4 pages. List only publications applicable to the subject of the research. No faxed proposals or quantities less than the requested 15 copies. Staple "Application for Grant of Funds" form followed by Additional Information for Potential Contractors form to front of the proposal, with the project number (--- TRP) appearing on the upper right-hand corner. Don't ship with plastic "peanuts" packing or in envelopes with ground newsprint padding. Wadded paper or bubblewrap is preferred. e. In order to facilitate the receipt, processing, distribution and evaluation of proposals in electronic format, the following are strongly suggested: Submit the proposal as a single .pdf file, preferably, with the Application for Grant of Funds" form first followed by Additional Information for Potential Contractors form and then the proposal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CONTRACTORS

In preparing a response to this request-for-proposal, contractors should be aware of, and be agreeable to, the following ASHRAE policies, procedures, traditions and contractual requirements. Costs for meeting these should be considered when preparing research proposal budgets. By submitting a proposal, the Principal Investigator is acknowledging he/she understands and agrees to comply with the policies listed below. The inability or unwillingness to comply should be pointed out in the transmittal letter accompanying any proposal or should result in no proposal being submitted. 1. It is the practice of ASHRAE to use fixed price contracts for research projects. Other contract forms, such as cost plus fixed fee, will be considered only in exceptional cases, and such proposals are discouraged. Unlike some other government or foundation research sponsors, ASHRAE does not approve cost extensions nor accept scope reductions except in the most unusual of cases. Such cases reflect unfavorably on the contractor with regard to future work. All fiscal values should be stated in U.S. dollars. Twenty five percent of the contracted sum will be withheld pending completion of the work. Fifteen percent will be paid upon submission of the final report and the remaining ten percent upon completion and acceptance of all contract requirements. The initial seventy-five percent of the total sum is paid in equal quarterly progress payments during the period of performance. Except for the first payment, which is made within thirty days of contract initiation, all progress payments are made contingent upon receipt of a quarterly progress report. The winning bidder is required to meet with the PMS via a site-visit or a conference call at the start of the project to review the project's scope. The results of this meeting shall be summarized by the contractor in the first progress report. During the period of the contract and following submission of the Final Report, the Principal Investigator is expected to personally address the sponsoring Technical Committee or Task Group and report on the progress of the project at each Annual and Winter ASHRAE meeting. Papers specified as deliverables should be submitted as either Research Papers for HVAC&R Research or Technical Paper(s) for ASHRAE Transactions. Research papers contain generalized results of long-term archival value, whereas technical papers are appropriate for applied research of shorter-term value, ASHRAE Conference papers are not acceptable as deliverables from ASHRAE research projects. All Deliverables under this Agreement and voluntary research or technical articles shall be prepared using dual units; e.g., rational inch-pound with equivalent SI units shown parenthetically. SI usage shall be in accordance with IEEE/ASTM Standard SI-10. 7. ASHRAE, in return for their financial support, expects that the sponsored research will be reported first at an ASHRAE meeting and in an ASHRAE publication. This may be ASHRAE Transactions or HVAC&R Research paper,. The Principal Investigator should be willing to wait for this to take place before publishing or presenting the work elsewhere. The submission of papers for publication by ASHRAE shall be made to the Manager of Research and Technical Services. Any patentable inventions or copywritten computer programs developed as a result of this research shall be made available to ASHRAE in recognition of their financial support of the work. Proposers are encouraged to utilize undergraduate or graduate engineering students where appropriate in conducting this research in order to assist them professionally and financially in their education and in

increasing their interest in the HVAC&R industry. 10. ASHRAE's proposal evaluation committee will make the primary recommendation regarding the selection of a contractor. While bidders may be given some information on their and competitors' scores, ASHRAE is not obligated to do so and will not become involved in negotiating, explaining or defending the decisions made. 11. One section of the final report will be entitled "Utilization" and will state: a. b. c. d. ASHRAE Handbook volume(s) and chapter(s) to which the research is related. Aspects of the research confirming present knowledge or extending present knowledge. Suggestions for change in the Handbook attributed to the research conducted. Suggestions for further research identified through that completed.

12. If invited, the Principle Investigator shall speak at an ASHRAE chapter or regional meeting on the subject of his/her research or research in general. The chapter or region extending the invitation shall reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred. 13. The signed original of this document should be enclosed with the proposal's letter of transmittal. Multiple copies are not desired.

The above conditions are acceptable:

6. SOLICITED PROPOSALS 6.1 Evaluation of Solicited Proposals Following the deadline for receipt of proposals, the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) records certain salient information about each response and forwards copies of all proposals received to members of the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES), the TC Chair (or Chair of TG, SSPC, or other research sponsoring committee), and the appropriate Research Liaison. Evaluation Criteria The PES uses evaluation criteria and weighting factors as specified in the Work Statement (WS) and applies them to compare the proposals received. Typically, the Evaluation Criteria include Performance of Contractor on Prior ASHRAE or Other Projects. The MORTS provides the PES with information on performance, including unsatisfactory performance, on previous ASHRAE research projects. A bidder who did not have a prior ASHRAE research project should not be penalized in the evaluation process, i.e, his/her proposal should receive the maximum score for this evaluation criterion. After discussion and evaluation, each PES member completes the Proposal Evaluation Form (PEF) based on his/her personal preference. Together the PES completes the Summary Sheet for Reporting Evaluations of Proposals. The summary of the scores from all PES members must be reported on the Summary Sheet for Reporting Evaluations of Proposals. The criteria for proposal selection are: 1. By default, select the proposal with the lowest cost that was responsive (i.e., an average score of 70 points or higher), or Select the proposal that the PES feels is the best value when ALL the criteria below are also satisfied: a. The proposal has the lowest cost to ASHRAE per point (using average score) among all responsive proposals b. The average proposal score is 5 points higher than the score for the lowest-cost responsive proposal c. The proposal was scored higher than the lowest-cost responsive proposal by at least 2/3 of PES members d. The PES members feel selection of the higher cost proposal is justified and provide a written explanation of their reasons.

2.

Approval Process The PES presents its recommendation and justification for the selection to the sponsoring committee for the project (TC, SSPC or standing committee). The vote of the sponsoring committee is recorded on the Summary Sheet in the form of For - Against - Abstain - Not Voting - Total. The reasons for negative votes and abstentions on these types of motions shall be recorded on the same form or accompany sheet and transmitted as additional information to RAC. The number of affirmative votes required for approval is at least 2/3 of the voting and international members present and expressing a preference. An abstention is not a vote or expression of preference. A 2/3 vote is required to authorize expenditure of funds (such as recommendation of a contractor or final report approval) (ROB 2.104.006). The sponsoring committees chair or another committee member designated by the chair is responsible for submitting hardcopies of: 1) Summary Sheet for Reporting Evaluations of Proposals, 2) copies of all PEFs or other review sheets used by individual PES members, and 3) any other documentation that the committee believes might help to support the committees recommendation to the MORTS Mailbox by Tuesday night of the ASHRAE Meeting. A member of Research Administration Committee (RAC) (usually the Research Liaison for the TC) will independently evaluate each proposal using the same weighting factors used by the PES. The Research Liaisons evaluation scores will be used by RAC in their deliberations prior to approval of the TCs contractor recommendation. The Research Liaison is the TCs champion at the RAC meeting, and therefore, the liaison must be fully confident and supportive of their position. Consequently, only the TC can provide the needed

Attachment #2

supporting information to the liaison. If the TC does not provide sufficient information to properly answer the questioning likely to result at the RAC meeting, the project may be delayed or the TCs recommendation not be approved. This may introduce at least a six month delay in proceeding with the project. The proposals submitted to ASHRAE are the official documents to be evaluated. All actions taken by the PES and the TC are to be based on these proposals as written. The recommended contractors proposal (and not the Work Statement prepared by the TC) will be used as the statement of work in the agreement between the contractor and ASHRAE. Written clarification questions of the contractors proposal and the contractors responses to these questions, however, can also be referenced in the contracts statement of work, if required. There shall be no direct communication between the PES or TC and the proposers until after the contract is awarded. If the PES or TC requests further information or clarification, the PES or TC shall notify the MORTS. The MORTS will then contact all proposers to obtain the requested information. Under exceptional conditions, e.g., when a single bid is received or funding is limited, the Research Administration Committee may authorize the MORTS to negotiate the price or technical content of a contract with the proposed contractor. The PES should contact the MORTS and research liaison to discuss the feasibility of this approach for a particular project before formally submitting their recommendation to RAC. In all cases, care must be exercised to see that no unfair advantage is given to one bidder over another. If approved by RAC for funding, a Research Project Analysis Sheet is prepared by the MORTS to accompany the Application for Grant of Funds of the recommended contractor when it is forwarded to Technology Council and the Board of Directors. The Project Analysis Sheet contains information to assist these bodies in evaluating the recommendation. RAC has the authority to approve for funding projects less than $100,000. Technology Council has authority to approve funding for projects costing from $100,000 to $200,000. For projects costing over $200,000, Technology Council forwards its recommendation to the Board of Directors for their final approval. Disapproval of any recommendation by either RAC, Technology Council or the Board of Directors results in the proposals being returned to the next lower body for reconsideration. Special Considerations: (i) Only one proposal received If only one proposal is received when a Work Statement is put out for bid, then MORTS shall contact the other listed potential bidders to determine why they did not bid. Based on the responses received or other considerations, MORTS may decide, without evaluation of the proposal itself, not to accept the single bid received. If the MORTS does forward a single proposal to the PES for evaluation, then both the PES and RAC must give the proposal a score of 80 or higher, and the proposed budget must be equal or less than 110% of the cost estimate in the WS in order to be accepted. If the two criteria above are met, but the other bidders stated that they did not bid because they felt only one institution had the qualifications or facilities to do the research, then the MORTS shall negotiate with the bidder to ensure the project will be conducted at the lowest possible cost to ASHRAE. (ii) Work Statement author bids on the project Proposals submitted by teams that include a Work Statement (WS) author may be acceptable if the proposal was not selected because of unique information available to the WS authors but not to all prospective bidders. 6.2 Instructions for Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee Purpose: The purpose of the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) is to provide recommendations and guidance to the

Attachment #2

TC (or TG, SSPC or other research sponsoring committee) members relative to their evaluation of proposals received, both solicited and unsolicited. Scope: Inclusions - The scope of these instructions applies to ASHRAE Research and Technical Projects. Exclusions - The scope of these instructions does not include provisions for ASHRAE Special Projects as covered in either the Policy or Procedures for ASHRAE Special Projects or Manual of Procedures for Technology Council Special Projects Subcommittee. Members: At least three (3) members, but not more than five (5) including a PES Chair, shall be appointed by the Chair of the sponsoring TC to form the Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES). Whenever possible, the Work Statement authors should be members of the PES. An organization co-funding a project has the right to one seat on the PES (and PMS). Any Work Statement authors who may bid on the project cannot be members of the PES (or the Project Monitoring Subcommittee PMS). The TC Chair shall consult with the TC regarding PES and PMS appointments. All appointments to the PES (and PMS) are subject to the approval of the Research Liaison. Any TC members, corresponding members, or guests at a TC meeting who may bid on the project shall not participate in discussions about membership of the PES (or membership of the Project Monitoring subcommittee PMS). All such prospective bidders shall leave the meeting during the discussion of PES (or PMS) membership. If the TC Chair is considering bidding on the project, the Vice Chair shall conduct the meeting during discussions of PES membership and shall appoint the PES members. If the Vice Chair is also considering bidding on the WS, then those TC members without a conflict of interest (i.e., those who will definitely not bid on the project) shall select an individual on the TC to solicit the TCs input on PES and PMS members and to appoint members of the PES and PMS with concurrence of the TC members who will not bid. Appointments to the PES are subject to the approval of the Research Liaison. The PES shall be tentatively appointed prior to initial submittal of proposed Work Statements to the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) and shall be finalized when members have determined if they are bidders or otherwise have conflicts of interest. If a project has co-funding from non-ASHRAE organization (such as ARTI, CIBSE, USGBC, etc) then the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) will appoint a representative from that organization to be a member of the PES and PMS. The MORTS and the Research Liaison shall be ex officio, non-voting members of the PES and shall receive copies of all PES correspondence and prior notification of all meetings. Evaluation and Selection of Contractor: The PES will be responsible for evaluating proposals and for recommending to the TC the contractor to perform the research. The evaluation factors should be weighted and scores assigned to support reasons for the recommendation. The TC shall vote on the selection of the contractor prior to the recommendations being forwarded to the Research Administration Committee (RAC). Confidentiality of information contained in proposals and the evaluation of such proposals shall be maintained through appropriate measures, including the following: a) Prior to final selection of the contractor, the flow of information should be restricted to the PES, sponsoring TC, RAC, and ASHRAE staff. In particular, other respondents to the RFP and employees of the respondents shall be excluded.

b) All discussions and evaluations of sensitive information such as costs and qualifications of respondents to an RFP shall be conducted only in executive session of the sponsoring committee, which shall consist only of committee voting, corresponding members, PES members, Research Liaison, and ASHRAE staff, but exclude members of respondent organizations. Recorded votes of the PES, sponsoring committee, or RAC shall be cast in executive session.

c)

Minutes of meetings should report only the action taken without identifying the contractor. Other details of the executive session may be appended to minutes, but these should be distributed only to those persons who participated in the executive session or who have a direct Society role in the awarding of a contract for the project.

d) Identification of the recommended contractor must be kept confidential until approved by RAC, Technology Council and the Board of Directors. The goal is to select the proposal that will provide high-quality, technically-sound research at the lowest cost to ASHRAE. The process assumes that proposals that score 70 points or higher are technically sound; therefore the lowest cost proposal meeting this criteria is usually selected. If many proposals are technically sound, but one is clearly better on a technical basis, then that proposal may be selected on a cost-per-point basis (these selection criteria are described in Section 5.1). In such a case, the PES must provide an explanation why the lower-cost bids having a score of 70 or more points were not selected. Procedures: The PES shall follow all procedures as described herein (in Section 5.2 of the Research Manual). The PES shall coordinate all activities with the MORTS and Research Liaison. Only the office of the MORTS can relay questions of clarification and comments from the PES or TC to the proposers. The MORTS may request the assistance of the PES Chair when communicating with the proposers. The PES is responsible for assuring the two-way flow of information so that the TC can make informed decisions relative to PES recommendations.

7. UNSOLICITED RESEARCH PROPOSALS An unsolicited research proposal (URP) is a research proposal initiated by a proposer seeking funding from ASHRAE. In order to be considered for funding, URPs should fall within the general research goals of the Society but not overlap significantly with ongoing or planned research activities of individual TC (or TG, SSPC or other committee sponsoring research projects). Unique and innovative projects that cut across research activities within different TCs are especially welcomed. Unsolicited proposals should be submitted in electronic format to the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) at MORTS@ashrae.net, who assigns the URP a number and logs it into the project control system. Enclosed with the unsolicited research proposal (URP) submission should be copies of three ASHRAE forms, Application for Grant of Funds, Procedure Statement Regarding Unsolicited Research Proposals (URPs) and Additional Information for Potential Contractors. These forms must be completed and signed by an individual having the authority to commit the institution contractually. Electronic signature is sufficient. Since the ASHRAE review process cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any material contained in a URP and since ideas, processes and/or techniques described may already be under consideration by a TC, the author of any URP is requested to sign the Procedure Statement Regarding Unsolicited Research Proposals (URPs) form releasing ASHRAE from responsibility for proprietary or confidential material in the URP. (See Guidelines for Unsolicited Research Proposals) 7.1 Evaluation of Unsolicited Research Proposal The MORTS will work with the Chair of Research Activities Subcommittee (RAS) of Research Administration Committee (RAC) to identify an appropriate liaison from RAC, who will have responsibility for guiding the URP through the evaluation process. In most cases, the URP liaison will be the Research Liaison for the section of TCs that best aligns with the focus of the URP. However, in some cases, the MORTS and RAS Chair may choose a URP liaison from RAC who has unique expertise for evaluating the URP. The following process will be followed in evaluating URPs: 1) The URP liaison will perform an initial evaluation of the URP to determine whether it should be considered for funding by ASHRAE. If the liaison determines that the URP addresses a topic already contained in the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan or an RTAR under development within a TC, then the liaison should recommend to RAC that the proposal be rejected and returned to the proposer unless the interests of the Society are better served by its consideration. In very exceptional cases, work that is a follow-on to a previously sponsored project may be considered for a URP when the proposed research offers ASHRAE convincing benefits in budget and schedule, where the original sponsoring TC is supportive, where the previous contractor has a competitive advantage with respect to experience and facilities. 2) If the URP liaison determines that the URP should be considered for funding, then the liaison should identify an appropriate TC and ask the TC chair to form a Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) headed by the TC Research Subcommittee Chair to evaluate the URP. If a PES is appointed, then the URP liaison will follow up with the TC Chair and Research Subcommittee Chair to monitor the timeliness of their evaluation. 3) The TCs PES should use many of the same criteria used in evaluating solicited proposals, but must also consider whether the unsolicited work is of equal or greater importance than that already planned by the TC. The TC must consider the cost and benefit of the URP to the TC, the Society and the public to establish the advisability of recommending funding. 4) Should the PES recommend that the project be funded, the subsequent approval steps are identical to those of a solicited proposal. If the TC rejects the URP, it shall provide a brief explanation to the MORTS. In some cases, the PES may be empowered by the TC to work with the author of the URP proposal to make modifications to the scope and deliverables to better meet the TC needs. The proposed budget can also be adjusted to accommodate these changes. The TC must vote to authorize the PES to negotiate with the proposal author and then must approve any revised URP. 5) If disapproved at any level, the MORTS returns the URP to the proposer with a brief explanation for the reason for the rejection. A copy of this communication is sent to the TC. Following approval and contract finalization, the sponsoring TC will establish a Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS) to oversee the progress of the project and to approve the final report.

7.2 Guidelines For Unsolicited Research Proposals One of the ways in which ASHRAE research projects are initiated is through the Unsolicited Research Proposal (URP). These are proposals, which are developed and planned by a researcher and then presented to ASHRAE with a request for full or partial funding. The URP should include the following information. 1. Title

2. Executive Summary (100 word statement that could be used at the BOD level to succinctly summarize the current state-of-the-art, the advancement this project is expected to accomplish, and its value to ASHRAE and society in general.) 3. Applicability to ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan (List specific goals of the ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan this project will support by name and number (e.g., A2, C3) State how the proposed project will help achieve the goals. The ASHRAE Research Strategic Plan can be found on the ASHRAE.org Web site under the Research page.) 4. Application of Results (List handbook chapters/special publications etc. to be affected by results of this project, if known. Explain how the results of the proposed project will be disseminated to HVAC&R industry and society in general. What are the practical benefits expected from this research?) 5. State-of-the-Art (Background) (Description of the amount and quality of past research, and quantify existing gaps.) 6. Advancement of the State-of-the-Art (Quantitative estimate of the improvement expected from this research [i.e. x% energy reduction in product y or building type z, x% increase in heat transfer coefficient between y and z, or x% reduction in design time to do y, etc.], and explain why this information is needed by the public or by industry.) 7. Justification and Value to ASHRAE (Identification by number, profession, or industry the ASHRAE members who will benefit. State the likelihood and how the improvement would be adopted by industry.) 8. Objectives - A paragraph describing what this URP intends to accomplish. (Explanation of projects goals and how this project will accomplish its intended advancement to the state-of-the-art [i.e. a computer simulation will be used to do x, a computer simulation will be developed for x and verified using laboratory data from tests y and z, field test data will be obtained from x and used to do y].) 9. Scope/Technical Approach (Provide a complete description of technical approach and task statement. Describe the parameters of the research project, including such items as: subject matter to be explored; materials, equipment, literature or other variables to be researched; materials, equipment, etc to be excluded from the project; outline the research methods to be used; description of the standards to be followed; discussion of how the data is to be reduced, analyzed and presented; description of the format for the reported results; if appropriate, describe project phases. It is important for the scope of a research project to be broken down into tasks or phases, where a task will yield results of interest to the TC/TG/SSPC and the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS), or where the results of a task will significantly define how subsequent tasks will be carried out. Make sure that the project objectives are reflected in the tasks. The URP should specify deliverables corresponding to these tasks in the Deliverables section to facilitate project monitoring by the PMS.) 10. Deliverables (Insert generic ASHRAE requirements listed below plus any project specific requirements.)

16

Attachment #2

Progress, Financial and Final Reports, Research or Technical Paper(s), and Data shall constitute the only deliverables (Deliverables) under this Agreement and shall be provided as follows: a. Progress and Financial Reports Progress and Financial Reports, in a form approved by the Society, shall be made to the Society through its Manager of Research and Technical Services at quarterly intervals; specifically on or before each January 1, April 1, June 10, and October 1 of the contract period. Furthermore, the Institutions Principal Investigator, subject to the Societys approval, shall, during the period of performance and after the Final Report has been submitted, report in person to the most applicable Technical Committee/Task Group (TC/TG or Committee) at the annual and winter meetings, and be available to answer such questions regarding the research as may arise. b. Final Report A written report, design guide, or manual, (collectively, Final Report), in a form approved by the Society, shall be prepared by the Institution and submitted to the Societys Manager of Research and Technical Services by the end of the Agreement term, containing complete details of all research carried out under this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, six copies of the final report shall be furnished for review by the Societys Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS). The Final Report shall include an Executive Summary of approximately 800 words that includes the need that initiated the project, a brief description of the technical approach, the results and how the results will benefit the industry and/or the public. Following approval by the PMS and the TC/TG/SSPC, in their sole discretion, final copies of the Final Report will be furnished by the Institution as follows: - An executive summary in a form suitable for wide distribution to the industry and to the public. - Two bound copies - One unbound copy, printed on one side only, suitable for reproduction. - Two copies on disk or CD-ROM; one in PDF format and one in Microsoft Word. c. HVAC&R Research of AHSRAE Transactions Technical Paper One or more papers shall be submitted first to the ASHRAE Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) and then to the ASHRAE Manuscript Central Website-based manuscript review system in a form and containing such information as designated by the Society suitable for publication. The papers should be submitted as either Research Papers for HVAC&R Research or Technical Paper(s) for ASHRAE Transactions. Research papers contain generalized results of long-term archival value, whereas technical papers are appropriate for applied research of shorter-term value, ASHRAE Conference papers are not acceptable as deliverables from ASHRAE research projects.. The paper(s) shall conform to the instructions posted in Manuscript Central for an ASHRAE Transactions Technical or HVAC&R Research pape.. The paper title shall contain the research project number at the end of the title in parentheses, e.g., (xxxx-RP).

Note: A research or technical paper describing the research project must be submitted after the TC has approved the Final Report. Research papers may also be prepared before the projects completion, if it is desired to disseminate interim results of the project. Contractor shall submit any interim papers to MORTS and the PMS for review and approval before the papers are submitted to ASHRAE Manuscript Central for review. d. Data The Institution agrees to maintain true and complete books and records, including but not limited to notebooks, reports, charts, graphs, analyses, computer programs, visual representations etc., (collectively, the Data), generated in connection with the Services. Society representatives shall have access to all such Data for examination and review at reasonable times. The Data shall be held in strict confidence by the Institution and shall not be released to third parties without prior authorization from the Society, except as provided by GENERAL CONDITION VII, PUBLICATION. The original Data shall be kept on file by the Institution for a period of two years after receipt of the final payment and upon request the Institution will make a copy

17

Attachment #2

available to the Society upon the Societys request.

e.

Project Synopsis In addition to the approximately 800 word summary in the final report, Contractor will prepare a written synopsis totaling approximately 100 words in length and written for a broad technical audience. The synopsis shall document 1. Main findings of research project, 2. Why findings are significant, and 3. How the findings benefit ASHRAE membership and/or society in general. The synopsis shall be submitted to the MORTS by the end of the Agreement term for publication in ASHRAE Insights and on the Research Page of the ASHRAE Website ( for keyword searches but Internet users) .

The Society may also request the Institution submit a technical article suitable for publication in the Societys ASHRAE Journal. This is considered a voluntary submission and not a Deliverable. Technical articles shall be prepared using dual units; e.g., rational inch-pound with equivalent SI units shown parenthetically. SI usage shall be in accordance with IEEE/ASTM Standard SI-10. (The above deliverables are necessary, but not sufficient, to monitor a research project. The PMS and the sponsoring TC have the responsibility to review the contractors on-going activities and intermediate results, to ensure that the methods used and results obtained will be valid and well-enough substantiated to be labeled as ASHRAE-approved findings. Proper oversight cannot wait until the final report, when most of the budget has already been expended. Therefore, each major task or phase of the research method outlined in the Scope should also be linked to a deliverable report, memorandum, or summary. These in-progress deliverables should not add to the cost of the project, as they will most likely become chapters of the final report. However, they should help the TC avoid unpleasant surprises due to the research not being conducted according to the TCs expectations. Examples of deliverables that could be required during the project include: If one task is a literature review, then the deliverable could be an annotated list of references and conclusions/summary of the current state of the art. If the contractor must propose specific sites (e.g., buildings), experiment topologies (e.g., duct configurations), materials (e.g., refrigerants, appliances, insulation or building materials), experiment protocols, and/or instrumentation, then short memos describing those proposed methods, materials, etc. should be deliverables to be reviewed and approved by the PMS before moving on to the next research task. If analysis of preliminary data or results will decide how to proceed (e.g., CFD models of 12 duct configurations will be used to select 2 duct configurations to be built and subjected to wind tunnel tests), then the contractor should write up the results of the initial analysis, recommend the areas for further more detailed investigation, and justify those recommendations. If data from the research are expected to modify or update a Handbook table, then the procedure for developing the updated table from the data should be specified and provided to the PMS as a deliverable. (The final report may also require the contractor to prepare a proposed updated table based on the observed data.) In short, the technical approach for a research project should be broken down into tasks or phases, and where a task will yield results of interest to the TC and the PMS, or where the results of a task will significantly define how subsequent tasks will be carried out. The URP should specify such intermediate deliverables for the PMS to review. This approach will make it easier for the PMS and MORTS to gauge progress and technical merit of on-going ASHRAE research projects, and will provide a framework for the cognizant TCs to provide technical oversight and assistance to identify and correct problems as they occur.) 11. Schedule Description of project milestones and duration. 12. Costs Detail breakdown of expenses into categories and itemized list of equipment, travel, subcontracts, and other direct

18

Attachment #2

expenses; Timing of expenditures; Description of cost sharing of proposing organization or others. 13. Personnel Education, experience and expertise of researchers that qualifies them to perform the work. 14. References List references cited in the proposal. A copy of the URP, containing a completed "Application for Grant of Funds" form, should be submitted to the Manager of Research & Technical Services (MORTS), who will then distribute it to the appropriate research liaison for review and evaluation. The Research Administration Committee (RAC) normally meets in late June and late January of each year, so URP's should be submitted by mid-May or by mid-December to be considered for the next meeting. The results of the reviewing committees' actions will be made known to the proposer by mid-February or mid-July. Proposals should be submitted to: MANAGER OF RESEARCH & TECHNICAL SERVICES ASHRAE 1791 Tullie Circle, NE Atlanta, GA 30329 MORTS@ashrae.net

UNSOLICITED RESEARCH PROPOSAL (URP) DISCLOSURE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

1.

ASHRAE recognizes the need to encourage innovative research proposals which address the needs of ASHRAE members and society in general. In order to be considered for funding, URPs should fall within the general research goals of the Society but not overlap significantly with ongoing or planned research activities of individual TC (or TG, SSPCs or other committee sponsoring research projects). Unique and innovative projects that cut across research activities within different TCs are especially welcomed. URPs will be accepted only with the understanding that they are non-confidential, although every attempt will be made to respect the proprietary nature of the proposal. This non-confidentiality will permit, if need be, a modification of the URP into a Work Statement which better meets the needs of the Society and which may be distributed as part of a Request for Proposal to numerous researchers for competitive bidding. If a URP is received which addresses a topic already contained in the ASHRAE Research Implementation Plan or under development within a TC, the URP will be returned to the proposer with an explanation as to its status in the Research Implementation Plan or applicable TC research plan unless the interests of the Society are better served by its consideration. If the URP is considered for funding, then the Research Activities Committee (RAC) will be responsible for managing the evaluation process. Unsolicited proposals will only be accepted by the Society upon receipt of a signed acknowledgment of this Procedure.

7.3 ASHRAE Cooperative Research Program for Developing Countries In an effort to meet its goal of being a truly international Society, ASHRAE conducts a program to involve more researchers around the globe in its research program. This is done by allocating up to $150,000 each year to fund research projects based in developing countries. The list of developing countries considered for this program is maintained by the Manager of Research & Technical Services (MORTS) based on the classification formulated by the World Banks Data Group. The MORTS list includes: (1) low-income countries and lower-middle-income countries, and (2) upper-middle-income countries that established their first ASHRAE Chapter within the last 10 years. Unsolicited research proposals originating in developing countries shall be designated as International Research Proposals (IRPs). The process of approving an IRP is very similar to approval process for URPs. The program is conducted as follows: 1) The prospective researcher from a developing country prepares an unsolicited proposal (URP) per instructions posted on the ASHRAE website, and submits the URP to the MORTS. If the proposed research involves a researcher (s) from a developed country, those costs shall not exceed 25 % of the total projects budget. 2) The MORTS designates the URP an IRP and works with the chair of Research Activities Subcommittee (RAS) of Research Administration Committee (RAC) to identify an appropriate liaison from RAC, who will have responsibility for guiding the IRP through the evaluation process. In most cases, the IRP liaison will be the research liaison for the TC section that best aligns with the focus of the IRP. However, in some cases, the MORTS and RAS Chair may choose an IRP liaison from RAC who has unique expertise for evaluating the IRP. 3) The IRP liaison will perform an initial evaluation of the IRP to determine whether it should be considered for funding by ASHRAE. If the liaison determines that the IRP (1) falls outside the scope of ASHRAE research or (2) is duplicative of projects already on the research plan intended for open solicitation, then the liaison should recommend to RAC that the proposal be rejected and returned to the sender. 4) If the IRP liaison determines that the IRP should be considered for funding, then the liaison should identify an appropriate TC (or TG, SSPC or other committee sponsoring research projects) to evaluate and sponsor the project and contact the TC Chair and Research Subcommittee Chair to ask them to form a Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES) to evaluate the IRP. The PES should include at least one member outside of North America. 5) If the PES recommends sponsorship of the project, it follows the same approval process as any other URP. If the PES rejects the IRP, the review process stops, and the MORTS informs the prospective researcher that the IRP has been rejected by ASHRAE. 6) Following approval and contract finalization, the sponsoring TC will establish a Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS) to oversee the progress of the project and to approve the final report. The PMS should include at least one member outside of North America. 7) The Principal Investigator (PI) of an IRP is not required to regularly attend ASHRAE Society meetings. A plan should be included with the IRP clearly describing how the PI will communicate with the sponsoring TC. The PI should make maximum use of electronic modes of communication.

8. RESEARCH AGREEMENT Once a project, from whatever source, has been approved for funding, the Principal Investigator is notified and sent a sample of the standard ASHRAE Research Agreement. (See attached copy.) This gives the institution the opportunity to object to any provisions. In the few instances where objections have been raised, they have usually been easily negotiated. After 2 to 3 weeks, if no objections are received or when objections have been resolved, a final copy of the research agreement is prepared for the specific project listing the cost, payment schedule, report schedule and list of deliverables. Two copies are signed by the President and Executive Vice-President of ASHRAE and forwarded to the institution. Upon receipt of a copy signed by authorities of the institution, the initial payment is made and the project begun. Subsequent payments are made upon receipt of the quarterly progress reports, the final report (15% of total contract) and upon receipt and acceptance of all deliverables (10% of total contract).

9. PROJECT MONITORING Monitoring and technical evaluation of the work being accomplished is the responsibility of the TC (or TG, SSPC or other committee) sponsoring the project. This is assigned to the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS) named by the TC and approved by the Research Liaison. The PMS is guided in their efforts by the "Instructions For Project Monitoring Subcommittee" (see copy following). Minutes should be taken at all PMS meetings and copies distributed to the members, the TC Chair, the Research Liaison and the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS). These individuals should also receive copies of any PMS correspondence in their capacity as ex-officio members of the PMS. If in the opinion of the PMS the principal investigator for the project is not performing as expected, the RP Alert form should be used to notify the MORTS as soon as possible (see copy attached). At the conclusion of the project, the PMS shall prepare and submit a "Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results" form to the MORTS (See Section 9).

Attachment #2

9.1 Instructions for Project Monitoring Subcommittee Purpose: The purpose of the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS) is to provide direction to the contractors, and provide recommendations and guidance to the TC (or TG, SSPC or other committee sponsoring a research project) members relative to their decisions, and actions in carrying out a research project. Scope: Inclusions - The scope of these instructions applies to ASHRAE Research and Technical Projects. Exclusions - The scope of these instructions does not include provisions for ASHRAE Special Projects as covered in either the Policy or Procedures for ASHRAE Special Projects or Manual of Procedures for Technology Council Special Projects Committee. Members: At least three (3) members, but not more than five (5) including a PMS Chair, shall be nominated by the Chair of the sponsoring TC to form the PMS. The procedure for nominating and approving PMS members is the same as that for the members of Proposal Evaluation Subcommittee (PES), including provisions for nominating members of the PMS when the TC Chair is a possible bidder (see Section 5.2). No individual who bid on a project, or who is a member of an organization that bid on a project (whether successfully or unsuccessfully), may serve on the PMS of that project.. It is desirable, but not required, that PMS members should be members of the PES. Appointments to the PMS are subject to the approval of the Research Liaison. If a project has co-funding from non-ASHRAE organization (such as AHRTI, CIBSE, USGBC, etc) then the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) will appoint a representative from that organization to be a member of the PES and PMS. The PMS shall be tentatively appointed prior to initial submittal of proposed Work Statements to the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) and finalized prior to initiation of the project contract. The MORTS and the Research Liaison shall be ex officio, non-voting members of the PMS and shall receive copies of all PMS correspondence. Monitoring: The PMS is responsible for maintaining close contact with the contractor and providing necessary direction to accomplish the stated objective(s) of the project, within the limitations of the budget and the Work Statement. This includes the technical editing of any resultant Special Publications, assisting with review and editing of Research or Technical Papers and recommending acceptance of the product of the project. The PMS shall report to the TC as required to conform to the purpose of this subcommittee. The ASHRAE staff is the primary coordinator and financial manager of the project, including: Receiving invoices from the contractor and arranging timely payments. Preparing records on the technical progress of the project and relaying technical reports to the appropriate chair of committee. Undertaking detailed editing of publications and arranging for publication. Securing approvals as required. Providing periodic financial data in appropriate financial reports. Deliverables: The deliverables, including the number of copies desired from the contractor, will be clearly identified in the Work Statement accompanying the RFP and in the contract. Technical Progress Reports, which is one category of deliverable, are required every 3 months. Financial and management reports are required and are submitted with the Technical Progress Report. The PMS must review these periodic reports. If the PMS does not agree with the progress, as reported by the Contractor, or if the PMS feels that there are some technical or project management issues that might affect the timely and successful completion of the project, then it must notify the MORTS and Research Liaison of this, as soon as possible, providing descriptions of the causes for

33

Attachment #2

concerns and recommendations of specific actions the MORTS should take The alert form shown below is recommended to be used for this purpose.

34

Attachment #2

The final deliverable is a Final Report or a Manual, a Research or Technical Paper, a Special Publication, a journal article, or a combination of these. The final report must be approved by the PMS and by a vote of the sponsoring TC before the project is complete. Publication of any material prior to approval by the PMS and sponsoring TC is not allowed. Procedures: The PMS shall follow all procedures as outlined herein (Section 8 of the Research Manual). The PMS shall coordinate all procedures with the MORTS and Research Liaison. All instructions and comments to the contractor should be made only by the PMS Chair, who speaks for the subcommittee. The PMS is responsible for assuring the two-way flow of information so that the TC can make informed decisions relative to PMS recommendations. In the event of dissatisfaction with contractors performance, the PMS shall advise the MORTS and provide all supporting material and recommended action. In determining the recommended action to the MORTS, the PMS shall present their concerns and supporting materials to the sponsoring TC for consideration and input. Research results contained in quarterly progress reports or delivered by the contractor in semi-annual presentation to the TC should be considered interim and tentative and should be kept confidential. Results should not be released or discussed outside of the TC until the final report is delivered and approved. Meeting Requirements: Project Monitoring Subcommittees shall meet at least twice annually, normally at Society meetings. More meetings may be scheduled as prudent project management may indicate. Written Progress Reports: Verbal reports to the TC are usually required at each Winter and Annual Meeting by the PMS and/or the contractor. A written summary of this report shall be included in the TC minutes. The PMS, at the completion of the project, shall review and, if necessary, edit the Contractors approximately 800-word Executive Summary from the final report. The final Summary should be suitable for publication in the ASHRAE Journal and Insights, describing the results of the project, its purpose and its application in simple to understand laymans language. The PMS, in cooperation with the sponsoring and co-sponsoring TC(s), shall prepare a Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results Form, as described in Section

10. PROJECT COMPLETION The completion phase of a project is usually initiated by the submission of the draft of the final report (in some cases this may be a technical manual). The draft of the final report/manual (6 copies and electronic format) is sent to the Manager of Research and Technical Services (MORTS) who distributes copies to the PMS. The PMS reviews and evaluates the report and makes suggestions for corrections and revisions to the Principal Investigator. The PMS shall ensure that an Executive Summary of about 800 words that can be easily understood by a layperson is included in the Final Report. It should include information on project scope, results, and how this project has benefited ASHRAE, the industry and/or the general public. The PMS comments on the draft final report are considered and incorporated into a final draft. The final draft is reviewed by the PMS and forwarded with a recommendation to the TC (or TG, SSPC, or other committee sponsoring the project) for a vote of approval. When the Principal Investigator feels that he/she has understood the sense of the PMS, he/she will prepare the Research or Technical Paper(s) required by the research agreement. The paper is submitted first to the MORTS and then to the ASHRAE Manuscript Central website-based manuscript review system in a form and containing such information as designated by the Society suitable for publication. The paper should be submitted as either a Research Paper for HVAC&R Research or Technical Paper for ASHRAE Transactions. Research papers contain generalized results of long-term archival value, whereas technical papers are appropriate for applied research of shorter-term value, ASHRAE Conference papers are not acceptable as deliverables from ASHRAE research projects.. The paper(s) shall conform to the instructions posted in Manuscript Central for an ASHRAE Transactions Technical or HVAC&R Research Journal paper. The paper title shall contain the research project number at the end of the title in parentheses, e.g., (99-9999-RP). The final approved manuscript of the Final Report is furnished to the MORTS as follows: - An executive summary in a form suitable for wide distribution to the industry and to the public. - Two bound copies. - One unbound copy, printed on one side only, suitable for reproduction. - Two copies on disks; one in PDF format and one in Microsoft Word. For those projects which the RAC feels have appeal to a wide audience, the RAC will recommend to the Editor of the ASHRAE Journal that a journal article be solicited describing the project and the results. Following completion of all phases of the project, the Chair of the Project Monitoring Subcommittee will work together with the RAC Research Liaison to complete a form entitled "Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results". The completed form together with the Executive Summary from the original approved Final Report will be submitted to the MORTS. This summary will be written so as to be easily understood by a layperson and shall include purpose of the project, its results and how the results may be applied for benefit to ASHRAE, the industry and the public. The TC may, if it desires, edit or modify the Contractors Summary, with approval from the Contractor, as provided in the final report to make it more suitable for wide dissemination. The TC shall also indicate on the form anticipated ASHRAE publications where the research results will be applied, including Handbook (specific chapters and table), standards, and special publications. It is suggested that the TC also reviews the RTAR and WS for the research, to see where application of the results was originally anticipated. The TC shall report to RAC and MORTS when the projects results are actually incorporated into these ASHRAE publications. To assist the MORTS in disseminating the results of ASHRAEs research, the TC, PMS and Principal Investigator will list on the Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results Form specific organizations, companies, associations, standards bodies, government agencies (local, state, federal, or foreign), universities, or individuals who should be notified directly of the completion of the research and receive the project Summary.

11. DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS The dissemination of results of a project and their wide acceptance and use is the ultimate goal of ASHRAE research. The actions in Section 10 on project completion describe how some of the dissemination is started. Those actions will result in one or more papers being published in HVAC&R Research or ASHRAE TRANSACTIONS. Reprints of the paper will also be available to the public at an ASHRAE meeting at a nominal charge. The possibility also exists for a Research or Technical Paper to be made part of a TECHNICAL DATA BULLETIN. For those projects for which an ASHRAE Journal article is written the research results become available to all ASHRAE members. A release to the trade press will be made following the completion of research projects. The release will include a short description of the project, the results and conclusions reached and information on how more detailed information can be obtained. The sponsoring TC (or TG, SSPC or other committee sponsoring a research project) should utilize the information generated in updating the HANDBOOK chapters for which they are responsible and Standards Project Committees should use it in writing and revising their standards. Some projects are designed specifically to result in the printing and distribution of a Special Publication in order to fill a void in the available literature. These projects are usually designated technical projects rather than research projects since they collect and organize information rather than generate new information. The TC indicates on the Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results Form the anticipated ASHRAE publications where the research results will be applied. The TC shall report to RAC and MORTS when the projects results are actually incorporated into these ASHRAE publications, and this shall be part of the RAC Research Report to the Society. RAC and MORTS shall monitor the TCs progress in incorporating the results into ASHRAE publications. The Disposition of ASHRAE Sponsored Research Results Form also indicates entities that should be notified of the completion of the research project. The MORTS shall forward to all of these the Executive Summary from the Final Report. The MORTS maintains a master copy of all Final Reports. Copies of the full report or portions of the report may be obtained from the MORTS at a nominal charge to cover the costs for reproduction and mailing. Projects completed in the more recent past required the Final Report also be submitted in an electronic format. The Final Reports of these later projects are therefore also available for downloading in a PDF format. The MORTS will forward to the Resource Promotion Committee, Chapter Technology Transfer Committee, and Technology Council the Executive Summary as well as an accounting of where the research information will be used to benefit the members (Handbook volumes and chapters, standards, or publications, with approximate dates). This will be used to assist in raising research promotion funds at the chapter level and monitoring the effectiveness of use of ASHRAEs research funds.

APPENDIX 1: RESEARCH RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER Research related to technology transfer projects takes one of three forms: 1. Applied technology development projects that are intended to come up with new or enhanced techniques for dissemination of research results, Handbook materials, standards, guidelines etc. Tool-kit projects, which involve development and careful validation of libraries of algorithms and computer code for systems design and/or evaluation. Preparation of Research Bulletins for: A. Collection or collation of technical information on a particular subject (from the Handbook, research project reports, and other relevant sources) and synthesizing the source material into a single, relatively comprehensive resource book for use by design professionals, educators, etc., or B. Preparation of User Manuals for ASHRAE Standards and Guidelines. Documents of the type 3A should be designated as Research Bulletins while type 3B documents could be designated as Research Bulletins or User Manuals, as appropriate. The Research Administration Committee (RAC) processes projects submitted by TC (or TG, SSPC and other research sponsoring committees) for categories 1, 2, and 3A where no co-funding appears likely. Projects in category 3A where co-funding is available could be handled by a Special Projects Committee. 3A projects are submitted by a sponsoring TC or by other legitimate ASHRAE groups (standing committees, chapter groups, etc.) to the Manager of Research and Technical Services and RAC research liaison. Projects for User Manuals (3B) are originated by the subject SSPC or SPC (or the cognizant TC/TG) and forwarded to the Standards Committee (StdC) for handling through Special Projects or StdC as appropriate. All category 3 projects are carefully reviewed at the Work Statement stage to assure RAC or StdC, Technology Council and the Board of Directors (BOD) that: a) The work is too extensive for a volunteer effort; and b) A well-prepared outline exists and a well-balanced committee will review proposals and monitor the work to assure that a useful document results. If category 3B projects represent a considerable drain on the Research Fund, additional resources should be sought through one of the following means: 1) That the Director of Technology (DOT) solicit outside funding; 2) That Publishing Council be asked to provide funds to assist in preparation and printing of User Manuals, with the balance of ASHRAE funds to come from additional Exposition Income (see #3 just below) or from the Research Fund; or 3) That Technology Council petitions the BOD for additional Exposition income.

APPENDIX 2: RECOMMENDED METHODOLOGY FOR PROJECTS WITH FIELD MONITORING Prepared by: Technical Committee 7.6, System Energy Utilization Introduction Many of ASHRAE's sponsored research projects involve the field monitoring of building energy systems. The data collected through these projects are very important, and are often used to support ASHRAE Handbook chapters prepared by the Technical Committees. The TC 7.6 Subcommittee on Building Monitoring has sponsored several Forums on the topic of methodology for field monitoring projects. A recurring suggestion by participants has been to disseminate information within ASHRAE on procedures for the effective design of field monitoring projects. This Appendix offers recommendations to Technical Committees interested in commissioning sponsored research projects involving building field monitoring. How To Use The Recommendations Field monitoring projects can be problematic and troublesome. At the first National Workshop on Field Data Acquisition for Building and Equipment Energy Use Monitoring, (Dallas, TX, October 1985), both practitioners and data users identified the major cause of these problems as the lack of procedures for monitoring project planning and execution. To remedy this problem, a sequence of planning activities that is applicable to nearly all projects of this type has been developed, as well as ASHRAE Guideline 14-2002, For Measurement of Energy and Demand Savings. Since each research project is different in terms of goals, objectives and data product requirements, the details of implementing this procedure will vary by project. However, use of this recommended methodology and Guideline 14 should insure that all project design parameters are considered. These recommendations can be used by ASHRAE Technical Committees in two ways. First, TCs and/or their research subcommittees can use this Appendix as a guide for preparing RFPs for sponsored research. The protocol will aid in specifying the requirements for the field monitoring portions of the project. Second, this Appendix can be used as an evaluation checklist when reviewing the proposals from prospective contractors. The following sequence of planning activities is recommended for the design of building field monitoring projects. The intent of using this approach to structuring a Work Statement is to minimize the possibilities for major oversights in the design and execution of projects of this type. 1. Identification of project goals, objectives and research questions to be addressed.

The first priority should be to clearly state the purpose and expected outcome of the monitoring project, and to unambiguously state the research questions to be answered by the monitored data. This is the first step to insuring that all crucial data items are identified, and that unnecessary data items are eliminated. 2. Specification of results which meet objectives

This activity identifies the specific results that are necessary to answer the research questions of interest. This can be done through mock-ups of data tables, charts, graphs, etc. Data results should also be prioritized to accommodate possible cost trade-offs later on. The results of this activity should provide a clear specification of the data to be delivered on the project. 3. Specification of experimental design approach

Monitoring projects often collect data, which are used to compare the performance of different equipment or systems (e.g., central vs. unitary systems), or to identify the effect of changes to building systems (e.g., retrofits). Various "passive" experimental design approaches are available to do this, including: test reference design; before/after design; and flip/flop (or on/off) design. An "active" design would be to stress test a building system over a range of experimental conditions. The experimental design approach must be evaluated for its

43

Attachment #2

ability to yield sufficient comparative data. The length of monitoring or conditions under which the building is monitored must be considered. For some objectives, it is important to monitor performance under extreme or design conditions; this is where stress tests may be considered. For some objectives, the differences in seasonal or annual energy use are important, and year-long or season-long monitoring periods are called for. In this case, there is always the risk that the weather conditions during the monitored period are not typical, and to guard against this one may combine passive monitoring periods that can be adjusted to typical meteorological conditions and active experiment design to capture performance under extreme or design temperatures. Therefore, it is essential to record adequate data on ambient conditions to be able to estimate annual and design condition performance. This must be considered in the measurement plan, Section 5 below.. 4. Specification of data analysis procedures and algorithms

This activity details how the monitored data will be processed to produce the data results previously specified. These procedures may involve the use of engineering calculations, models, statistical methods, etc. The analysis procedures may also involve the use of engineering constants, or one-time field measurements in addition to time-series monitored data. This activity will identify all variables required for data analysis, and their specific use and priority. The entire set of variables required to produce the required data results will include a sub-set of data items to be monitored in the field. This activity identifies them as well. Data analysis procedures and algorithms should also take into account established test and rating standards and methods for building system components and equipment listed in the Codes and Standards chapter of the HVAC Systems and Applications volume. 5. Specification of field monitoring data points measurement plan

This activity treats the sub-set of variables to be monitored or measured in the field. The output of this task is often referred to as a measurement plan, which details the location of specific data points within the building system. The measurement plan is also the working document for installers of field equipment and sensors. The measurement plan should also include details for the types of sensors required, and procedures for taking any one-time measurements. 6. Specification of building characteristics data

This activity develops the data framework that will be used to describe the building or buildings being monitored. It is usually not possible to understand the relevance of monitored data without a reference framework that describes the building being monitored and the types of activities conducted in the building. The building information collected depends on the systems of interest for the project. However, general building information could include: the type of zone, building or complex being monitored; the types of activities in the facility(s); the age, number of floors and conditioned area; building schedules for occupancy and temperature; a description of the building envelope including items such as walls, glazing, roof, shading and large doors; descriptions of the HVAC and control systems, and their maintenance; descriptions of lighting systems; descriptions of other important energy systems such as large computer or food service operations; the types of fuels or utilities supplied to the building; a history of utility and fuel purchase statements; and any special aspects of all the above that impact the interpretation of the monitored data results. In addition, if energy improvements are made during the course of the project, a description of the improvements should be documented. 7. Specification of verification and quality control procedures

A common field-monitoring problem is measurement failure, which is often due to failed sensors, that go undetected for long periods of time. Verification and quality control procedures can minimize this problem by: specifying frequent data retrieval and error checking; pre-specification of acceptable ranges of sensor performance; secondary range check calculations using monitored data; and use of back-up sensors for critical measurements or inaccessible locations. Quality control procedures may also reference existing standards for certain measurements such as temperatures and flow rates. Sensor accuracy and total data acquisition system accuracy should also be specified here.

Specification of data collection hardware

One of the final steps is to select the sensing and data logging hardware required to collect the specified data, taking the verification and quality control procedures into account. Some guidance on hardware selection is available from the Measurement and Instruments chapter of the ASHRAE Handbook,, Fundamentals Volume. Other guidance is available from published measurement standards. 9. Specification of recording and data exchange formats

This activity specifies the formats in which the data will be supplied to the end-user or other data analysts. It is always important to specify both raw and processed data as deliverable items for research projects. Project sponsors often wish to conduct supplemental analyses of the data, and should specify the media and format they require (e.g., database, spreadsheet, ASCII, etc.). Documentation of data file format should be required. Frequently the goal of a monitoring project is to determine the impact or savings associated with a change or improvement in a building (i.e., the before and after experimental design) This special case commonly occurs when energy service companies (ESCOs) make an improvement and are compensated based on measured "savings". Two standardized methods have been developed to determine savings in these situations: 1) ASHRAE Guideline 14-2002 Measurement of Energy and Demand Savings 2) International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol The two references above should be consulted when the goal of the research project is to collect monitored data to discern the impact of a change. ASHRAE Guideline 14 recommends many of the industry consensus and standard methods to measure and verify energy savings resulting from the implementation of energy-conservation measures developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. The second reference, International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol (IPMVP), provides standard measurement & verification (M&V) terminology and defines four M&V options to quantify energy and water savings.

APPENDIX 3 GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) Scope Many TC and Research Chairs are considering and specifying the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for their Research Projects. CFD is computationally difficult and is not well understood by the average technically trained engineer. These guidelines are intended to help increase the understanding of CFD and its strengths and its disadvantages. These notes should also help the writing of a better work statement and the evaluation of the bids. Definition CFD is based on several engineering principles including conservation of mass, and energy and sometimes linear momentum. Quite often the basic Navier Stokes (NS) equations are used. Unfortunately the NS equations are not easily solved and require quite a bit of judgment and a number of assumptions to reach a solution. Basically each application includes constructing the flow field control volume, developing the computational mesh (or grid), which defines the surface of the flow field, applying boundary conditions, solving for field variables and evaluating the results. Potential Strengths There are several advantages to using CFD techniques. These include not only the ability to visualize the flow (velocities, temperatures etc.) profiles but also the possibility of modeling several variations of specific situations without the time and cost of building individual test rigs. Complex flows often can be analyzed only by CFD modeling because of experimental difficulties. Accuracy can be comparable to other test methods. Potential Disadvantages CFD requires a highly trained investigator with very good judgmental and mathematical skills. Accuracy is entirely dependent on the talents of the principal CFD investigator and the CFD package. Computer runs can be very long (up to a week or more) and require high-speed large memory computers. It is possible for two equally talented investigators to produce very different results for the same problem while using the same CFD package. The proposed investigator should have a very good practical as well as theoretical background in the specific areas of interest ASHRAE Applications Our Society continues to see a number of projects which should use CFD methods, including velocity, pressure and temperature predictions for rooms, duct systems, total buildings, airplanes, tunnels and additionally smoke plume determinations and laboratory hood velocity contours. Structuring the Work Statement A TC can write clearer work statements if they take advantage of certain fundamentals. A literature search among past ASHRAE projects using CFD will share questions raised by bidders, responses by the Project Monitoring Sub-committee (PMS) and the final results of the project. An understanding of the commonly used words as well as strategies used by CFD investigators will help to clarify the work statement. A typical outline follows and applies to the three major portions of the package; the pre-processor (input), the problem solver, and the post-processor portions. 1. Constructing the flow field control volume

A flow field is normally an internal flow within solid walls or an external flow around an immersed body.

46

Attachment #2

Careful selection of a flow field control volume will permit efficient construction of the continuity, energy and momentum equations and also help to simplify later assumptions. 2. Constructing the flow field mesh or grid

This activity defines the flow field by means of a series of shapes (surfaces [2D] use triangles or quadrilaterals, solid models [3D] use bricks, wedges or tetrahedrons) connected to each other at points called nodes. Forces, temperatures and other properties are transferred to adjacent shapes through nodes. The more nodes the more accurate the transfer of these properties but the more computation time is required. The intensity of the mesh (or grid) can be increased or decreased throughout the surface depending on the activity at certain points or the accuracy desired. This work is performed in the pre-processor portion of the package. 3. Applying boundary conditions

The boundary conditions which describe the flow field profile between the walls and boundary and the average fluid velocity as well as project specific data are entered here. Boundary conditions can also include pressure, temperature, turbulence level, heat flux and contamination and levels. The wall roughness should be mentioned if a good correlation with experimental results is desired. Modeling the turbulence intensity is very difficult but must be done well for accurate estimates of pressure and friction losses, drag, mixing of temperature and other profiles. Turbulence is described as consisting of vortices (eddies or swirl) which are always changing size, position and energy. A popular turbulence model is the k- model used primarily for fully developed turbulent flow. Unfortunately the flow fields will contain either turbulent, transitional or laminar flow. Near the walls turbulence intensity is much lower, shear forces predominate and the original k- formula does not apply. The k- formula estimates the overall kinetic intensity (k) and its dissipation rate ( ). For estimating partially turbulent flow the k- formula can be modified or another method of analysis is selected. Other models include: 1) Using 3D time based NS equations to directly numerically simulate (DNS) only the most important scales of turbulence and 2) Simulating the energy of only the larger eddies (LES) and averaging the effect of the small eddies on the large ones. These last two options require a lot of calculation capacity (and time) which reduces their popularity. Possibly at some time a direct numerical profile of all turbulence energy levels will be developed but for now various approximations must be used. This work is performed in the pre-processor portion of the package. 4. Solving for the field variables

A series of partial differential equations (based on conservation of mass, momentum and energy) are written describing the fluid flow within the control volume. A special form of these equations are called Navier- Stokes equations which deal well with viscous flows - flows of interest to ASHRAE. Then Finite Element Analysis or Finite Difference Analysis or Finite Volume Analysis are used to reduce these complex differential equations (this is often described as discretizing the primary equations) to algebraic equations describing the elements of the grid or mesh. The turbulence calculations are performed here. Unfortunately these equations are complex (non-linear, second order, partial differential equations) and require certain simplifying assumptions as well as a computer based equation solver to resolve. One common strategy begins with an initial approximation of the final result and tries in successive calculations to reduce this approximation to a very small value. Often the initial approximations are not accurate and this inaccuracy contributes to long computer runs to achieve the desired results. This work is performed in the solver portion of the package. 5. Selection and presentation of the results

47

Attachment #2

This includes the plotting of various streamlines including velocities, pressure contours, isotherms etc. The selection of a post-processor with good 3D graphics will help communicate the results of the project. While pressure profiles are normally not presented they can be a useful check on the primary results. This work is performed in the post-processor portion of the package. 6. Evaluating the results

The theoretical CFD results should be compared to work based on other techniques to validate the assumptions required for CFD calculations. The researcher can also verify his / her work by changing the grid size and comparing results. The different results should relate to each other. However there are normally errors of some size in both sets of data so a discussion of errors is warranted. Preparation of the Work Statement The TC should specify whether CFD or other analytical methods are preferred. CFD can often output data in a visual format that facilitates rapid understanding of otherwise complex results. The selection of an analytical method (CFD or other) is often based on the type of project, ease (or lack thereof) of analysis, accuracy desired and final use of the data by others. Sometimes a supplementary note giving the contractor a choice of technologies can be useful if the results will be comparable. When considering CFD the TC has available several sources for guidance. These sources include data from previous contracts, past members of other PMS and possibly current ASHRAE members who have been prior CFD contractors and for some reason will not bid on the current project. The TC should discuss the type of flow field; either steady or non-steady state. If non-steady state the minimum and maximum conditions should be reviewed in detail. If the flow has a predictable time period from minimum to maximum and then to minimum value this should also be reviewed. The level of required accuracy should be discussed in depth and a clear standard be set. An often-asked question is What is the level of accuracy needed to make this project useful and how much will this accuracy cost? There is no easy answer here but the PMS should develop this guideline. The bidder's perception of the goals of the contract will influence the estimated time input and the ultimate cost. Ambiguity should be avoided as much as possible. Increased accuracy will require significantly more computational time and possibly a commitment of high capacity hardware. However it is likely that the final work may not be useable by the average consultant if the computational time is too large or special computers are required. The contractor should discuss a proposed validation method for the specific research project. This validation can include a comparison with actual test data, by changing the mesh sizes or by deleting a major component and observing a predicable result. Many TC members believe that one can circumvent the technical details mentioned above by writing a performance specification. Unfortunately a good performance specification for CFD should discuss the assumptions available to the contractors so the offers are somewhat comparable. Therefore the preparation of a through performance specification can require as much effort as a normal task based specification would require. The contractors should be advised in the work statement that a standard format for the final report should be followed including at least the following; a table of contents, an abstract, presentation of the research procedures and results, an error (sensitivity) discussion, conclusions and recommendations and, finally, references. Preparation of the Proposal by the Contractor Many contractors have resources available from past contracts, which can reduce the time input as well as

48

Attachment #2

hardware (and software) purchases. As long as the goals of the project are met, the contractor should be encouraged to use all resources as efficiently as possible as long as the use of these special resources is communicated to the Society. The contractors should be asked to specify the type of hardware to be used and the approximate amount of computational time required. Also the contractor should be asked to explain whether the data could be extrapolated to physically larger (or smaller) models or to other changes in the research parameters such as temperatures, pressures, viscosities etc. The potential contractor should discuss the following in his application: 1. 2. The reasons for selecting the general purpose CFD package. The ability of the code to meet the computational and modeling needs of the project as well as indicating the strengths of the proposed pre- and post-processors. As an example, not all CFD packages are equal in the modeling of radiation, transitional flows and flows where gravitational and buoyant forces are similar. ASHRAE has no preferred program. The contractor should select the program with which he/she wants to work. The contractor should discuss the validation of the particular package and list the benchmark problems used by the software designer to validate the program. A detailed discussion of the contractors computational approach should be included. At least the following areas should be reviewed: the assumptions, the proposed basic equations, element selection (type and resolution), choice of a turbulence problem solver (the k- model is often used), boundary layer definition and a method of calculating the loss coefficients. The TC may want to define the boundary layer profiles if it is aware of special conditions. The form in which archival results will be provided should be specified. ASCII form is preferable for future readability, but binary formats may be acceptable if the format is clearly documented. The media format that will be used to deliver the results should also be specified.

Derating Recommendations Based on Field Testing and Analysis of High-Altitude Installations of Gas-Fired Boilers and Water Heaters B. SUMMARY

Current practice for derating gas-fired heating appliances with altitude is based on outdated data not relevant to modern, high-efficiency burner technology. This project includes an experimental effort to determine derating requirements of boilers and water heaters. An earlier ASHRAE research project addressed furnaces and found that lower derating could be accepted with modern equipment. This project will provide the needed basis upon which to change this practice for boilers and water heaters. Estimated budget: $150,000. C. APPLICABILITY TO THE ASHRAE RESEARCH STRATEGIC PLAN

2005-2010 Research Plan: One of the themes in the Strategic Plan is Energy and Resources and the stated goals include providing guidance on techniques and development of best practices. This project addresses the need to reevaluate the derating standards that were developed for combustion systems that existed decades ago. Applying these to modern systems that achieve much higher efficiency through lower excess air operation, forced air flow, and higher backpressure of high efficiency heat exchangers, is needed to eliminate an impediment to the economical adaptation of modern appliances. (Goals A1 and A6). A reduction in the amount of required appliance derating supports sustainability by permitting the use of physically smaller appliances to save on manufacturing materials and energy. 2010-2015 Research Plan: By recognizing the higher efficiency at altitude of modern combustion systems, this project will contribute to Goal 9 (Improved HVAC&R Components) by improving the right-sizing, and therefore cost-effectiveness, of more efficient combustion control systems. D. APPLICATION OF THE RESULTS

The results of this work will be to provide guidance to manufacturers, design engineers, code committees, and installers on best practices for derating. E. STATE-OF-THE-ART (BACKGROUND)

Installation codes such as the ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Code and CSA B149.1 National Standard of Canada Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code specify that gas-fired furnaces, boilers and water heaters be derated during operation at altitudes of more than 2000 ft above sea level. These appliances are to be adjusted for the lower amount of available oxygen per cubic foot of air. The prescribed method of the fuel gas reduction is to reduce gas input rate by 4% per 1000 feet above sea level. This reduction must be considered before selecting appropriately sized appliances. The usual method to reduce the input rate is to use smaller gas orifices or to reduce the gas orifice manifold pressure. Recent demographic trends have resulted in greater numbers of these appliances being operated at altitudes high enough to require large derating factors. Recent appliance innovations cause many engineers in the industry to question the appropriateness of this simple rule. F. ADVANCEMENT TO THE STATE-OF-THE-ART

The original 4% derate per 1000 feet above sea level method was developed for Bunsen-burner type appliances. The recent development of state-of-the-art combustion systems and appliances (e.g. fan-assisted combustion,

52

Attachment #2

direct venting, condensing heat exchangers, inshot and pre-mix burners, sidewall venting) may permit some appliances to operate acceptably with less or no derating for altitude. This research will update the altitude derating methods so they apply to modern appliances. G. JUSTIFICATION OF NEED AND VALUE TO ASHRAE

Some manufacturers listed appliance instructions already specify less derating than 4% per 1000 feet above sea level. These inconsistencies cause confusion among installers, leading to misapplications similar to the vent misapplications that were common before 1991 and 1992, when the GAMA and ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54-1992 National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) venting guidelines were issued for venting mid-efficiency fan-assisted combustion furnaces. The NFGC and other codes need new high-altitude guidelines that are consistent for each current appliance type. From the consumers perspective, less derating would mean less need to increase furnace, boiler, or water heater size at high altitudes, with consequent installed-cost savings. The experience of knowledgeable gas-fired combustion appliance engineers is that different appliance types (i.e., water heaters versus furnaces versus boilers, natural-draft versus fan-assisted combustion, direct-vent versus non-direct-vent, etc.) react differently to the effects of high altitude. Therefore, multiple appliance types are required to be tested and analyzed. Furnaces were previously tested on ASHRAE Research Project RP1182 because they are the highest sales volume gas appliances with the largest gas inputs and because they include a variety of the needed combustion system types. The results of that work were strongly indicative that a much lower derate factor is appropriate for furnaces and that a follow-on project be initiated to analyze two other appliance types, boilers and water heaters. H. OBJECTIVES

Based on first-principle work and recommendations reported in the Gas Research Institute topical report High Altitude Installation of Natural Gas-Fired Appliances with Fan-Assisted Combustion Systems GRI-95/0014, determine whether less derating than is currently prescribed can be safely permitted for operating natural gasfired and propane gas-fired boilers and water heaters at high-altitude. Determine the applicability and validity of National Standard of Canada CAN/CGA-2.17-M91, Gas-Fired Appliances for Use at High Altitudes, section 2.2 for use in testing appliances at near sea level (0 to 2,000 feet altitude) to demonstrate robustness at high altitude (2,000 to 10,000 feet altitude). Investigate alternate testing and prediction methods, which may be used to provide equivalent high altitude performance and validation. Work with the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMS) to provide industry acceptable data and tools for better understanding of high altitude applications and acceptable high altitude appliance heating capacities. I. SCOPE/TECHNICAL APPROACH

The proposed research will perform the tasks described in below. 1. Identify three geographical locations for field testing. One location for benchmarking shall be as close to sea level as possible but no higher than 1000 feet. The other two locations shall be in the 4,000 foot and 10,000 foot range, with at least 4,000 feet difference in altitude between any two locations (use population centers as guides). 2. Develop a detailed test plan to include details of test instrument calibration, method of test, test parameters, test data forms, test acceptance criteria, schedule, and locations with altitudes. This test plan shall be submitted to the PMS for review and approval prior to the start of testing.

LEVEL OF EFFORT

The level of effort is estimated to be approximately 900 hours of a professional person. A total cost of $150,000 is estimated. The accepted bidder will be responsible for obtaining the test boilers and water heaters, test equipment and testing facilities. Boiler and water heater manufacturers have shown interest in donating appliances. Appliance requests and donations shall be coordinated through the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association, Arlington, VA.

L.

OTHER INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

Bidders shall have experience in testing these gas appliances in accordance with the standards specified in Task 4. Frequent meetings, in person or by conference call with the PMS are deemed essential to the success of the project. As described in the Scope section above, submissions to the PMS for review and approval are requested at several points during the project. It is expected that the PMS will discuss these submissions with the contractor and this will be done either via meetings at the ASHRAE Winter or Annual meetings or conference call, as appropriate. Additional meetings may be held at the contractors test sites at the discretion of the PMS Chairman. The contractor shall provide to the PMS at these meetings a detailed report of work accomplished and work yet to be done. The PMS shall give the contractor following these meetings a written report of the PMSs assessment of the contractors progress and any requests for project changes deemed necessary to maintain the objectives and schedule of the project. This section specifies the test conditions to be used in the tests set forth in item 4. Since barometric pressure can vary over time, the actual barometric pressure shall be recorded for all tests listed above. This is to provide the corresponding test altitude, if found to be different from the designated test location altitude for purposes of setting rate (or derate) and analyzing results. The composition of the inlet air supply (i.e., % oxygen and water in the air by weight) shall be measured during each test. Each boiler and water heater model shall be tested at the following conditions: a) b) c) d) at sea level with factory-installed orifice(s) and factory-set manifold pressure. at sea level with factory-installed orifice(s) and manifold pressure adjusted to achieve nameplate input. at natural derate with no change in gas orifice size or manifold pressure setting from b). at natural derate with no change in gas orifice size or manifold pressure setting from b), except for the following: 1. If any change to orifice size or manifold pressure is required to satisfy CAN/CGA-2.17 or ANSI Z21.13-2004CSA-4.9-2004, ANSI Z21.10.1-2004--CSA 4.3-2004 Vol 1,ANSI Z21.10.3-2004-CSA 4.3-2004 Vol 3, they must be recorded. If the manufacturer(s) of the tested appliance(s) recommend different derating method(s), then that method(s) shall also be tested. 2. If there was a difference in Wobbe number between sea level gas and the gas used at altitude that would affect the amount of derate observed, it must be recorded. e) at 4% per 1000 ft above sea level derate when installed above 2000 ft. (These tests shall be conducted: i) by changing orifice sizes with constant manifold pressure and ii) by adjusting manifold pressure with constant orifice size.) f) depending on the test results for conditions 0, , 0and 0, at the derate necessary to produce the same CO2 percent at altitude as was obtained at sea level. g) repeat 0 to produce clean combustion per ANSI Z21.13-2004CSA-4.9-2004, section 2. 5. , ANSI Z21.10.1-2004--CSA 4.3-2004 Vol 1, section 2.4 or ANSI Z21.10.3-2004--CSA 4.3-2004 Vol 3, section 2.4 .

In order to obtain data that is unaffected by differing natural and propane gas mixtures, a subset of test data shall be obtained with a reference fuel gas source, such as a single bottled natural gas supply trucked to each test location. In the interest of minimizing the amount of bottled gas required, the appliances can be operated

56

Attachment #2

on local gas until data is to be taken. Then the bottled gas can be swapped on-the-run (without interruption of appliance operation) with the local gas for only as long as required to establish a new equilibrium at the specified conditions and take data. Data should also be taken with the local source gas for comparative analysis. For each appliance, at each altitude, the data subset with the reference gas shall include unmodified combustion performance (CO, excess air, flue temperature, and margin as discussed in Task 4, above). Wobbe index and fuel gas composition shall be the primary parameters used to evaluate impacts of different local gas compositions. The contractor shall provide to the PMS: 1. Results of benchmark, sea-level tests prior to on-location tests at higher altitudes. 2. Results of on-location tests after tests are complete at each site and before dismantling test capability at each site such that corrective tests could be performed before leaving each site, if needed by the PMS. 3. All raw data: acceptable and unacceptable results are to be identified as such. 4. Analysis of all test results. Detailed methods of analysis shall be provided. 5. Recommendations on how to fulfill the project Objectives. Beyond the guidance provided in the Scope section above, the PMS is very interested in the specific appliances selected for testing and expects to actively support the contractor in this selection. As discussed in the Scope section, above, the PMS will review and approve the final list of specific appliances. If bidders feel that additional work is needed to fulfill project Objectives, additional work shall be specified, recommended, and quoted separately with their base bids. M.

Research Administration Committee Michael R. Vaughn June 16, 2010 2009-2010 Semi-Annual Report of the Manager, Research & Technical Services

This report covers the Research Activities of the Society from July 1, 2009 to date. 1. ACTIVE PROJECTS UNDER CONTRACT The 2009-2010 Society year began with seventy-three projects under contract. Since July 1, nineteen new projects have been approved and contracted. All but four of these projects resulted from Work Statements originated by the TC/TGs. Last year at this time for reference, we had added fifteen projects. The new projects for the year include: 1339-RP, 1385-RP, 1404-RP, 1409-RP, 1415-RP, 1420-RP, 1448-RP, 1467-RP, 1468-RP, 1469-RP, 1476-URP, 1478-RP, 1507-RP, 1512RP, 1522-RP, 1544-RP, 1589-URP, 1590-URP and 1597-URP. Twelve projects were completed and the final payment made. These are: 1197-RP, 1270RP, 1271-RP, 1299-RP, 1321-RP, 1343-RP, 1363-RP, 1373-RP, 1394-RP, 1438-RP, 1453RP, and 1481-RP. Last year at this time, we had completed twenty-one projects. There are currently eighty active projects under contract. Fifteen of these projects 1216-RP, 1272-RP, 1274-RP, 1287-RP, 1328-RP, 1332-RP, 1333-RP, 1361-RP, 1376-RP, 1388-RP, 1402-RP, 1456-RP, 1480-RP, 1482-RP, and 1484-RP are currently being evaluated to determine if they can be closed.

Projects that deserve close attention at this time are as follows: 1180-RP, Design Guide for Duct Systems, sponsored by TC 5.2. Contractor/P.I. requested in summer/fall 2006 an additional $50k to complete the $80k project. TC estimated guide was approximately 65% complete. Work on project was stopped by P.I., who left contractors employment, and project files were turned over to MORTS in November 2006. TC hopes to complete project using volunteers. ASHRAE now has clear and complete publishing rights to all existing materials. TC reported in Orlando that they plan to finish the design guide this summer. 1262-RP, Relate Air Quality and Other Factors to Comfort and Health Related Symptoms Reported by Passengers and Crew on Commercial Transport Aircraft (PartII), sponsored by TC 9.3. Flight tests with surveys on the third and final participating airline are expected to start this summer. The project is on schedule right now to complete by December 2010. 1306-RP, Incident-response Monitoring Technologies for Aircraft Cabin Air Quality, sponsored by TC 9.3. P.I. requested in March 2010 a funded extension to the project in the amount of roughly $11,000 due to an eight month delay by the TC in responding to his Phase 1 draft report. After conferring with the PMS, I informed the P.I. that we would not consider a funded extension to this project due to the time that was lost (1 year) while P.I. was sick. The P.I. and his employer (TNO) accepted our position and appear to be proceeding with the project without additional funds.. 1332-RP, Revisions to the ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Tool to Maintain Consistency with Standard 55-2004, sponsored by TC 2.1. The contractor is working on two funded extensions for $2.5k each, which were proposed by contractor to bring tool up to latest version of standard since contract was awarded and to improve end-user interfaces. We also need to clear-up source code issues with this tool. ASHRAE Publications is eager to get this updated tool in the bookstore. All remaining work on this project should be completed prior to the Albuquerque meeting. 1361-RP, Biological Control in Cooling Towers using Non-Chemical Water Treatment Devices, sponsored by TC 3.6. The TC is currently considering the draft final report for this project and there is a good chance that they wont be able to reach consensus and approve the report with the required 2/3 affirmative vote majority due to the make-up of the voting membership, which includes NCD manufacturers that dont agree with the results. 1404-RP, Development of Analysis and Monitoring Protocols for Accurate Prediction of Building Annual Energy use Based on Minimum Short-term Data Monitoring Periods, sponsored by TC 4.7. The contractor, Milwaukee School of Engineering, is having problems finalizing a subcontract agreement with Arizona State University and the MORTS has stepped in to help with the negotiations. 1408-RP, The Effects of Lining Length on Insertion Loss of Acoustical Duct Liner

Attachment #5

RAC June 18, 2010 Page 3

in Sheetmetal Ductwork, sponsored by TC 2.6. The PMS has requested that a hold be placed on additional progress payments to the contractor until the work completed catches-up to the funds already paid to date. Appendix R-1 is a summary of all current contracted research projects and Appendix R-2 lists all projects completed thus far this year. 2. PROJECT EXTENSIONS No-cost extensions have been granted to twenty-five projects: 1196-RP, 1235-RP, 1245-RP, 1262-RP, 1267-RP, 1287-RP, 1306-RP, 1312-RP, 1320-RP, 1321-RP, 1322-RP, 1325-RP, 1327-RP, 1352-RP, 1353-RP, 1387-RP, 1390-RP, 1395-RP, 1456-RP, 1457-RP, 1460-RP, 1466-RP, 1472-RP, 1480-RP, and 1488-RP. Last year by this time for comparison, we had granted extensions to twenty-two projects. 3. TENTATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS One tentative research project (1515-TRP) is still pending and carries-over from the meeting in Orlando without a funding decision from Technology Council. During this year, a total of six Work Statements were approved and circulated for solicitation of proposals. These were: 1493-TRP, 1502-TRP, 1517-TRP, 1547-TRP, 1583-TRP, and 1596-TRP. One of these projects (1502-TRP), which was circulated, however, received no bids. Last year at this time for comparison, we had circulated twenty-seven projects for bid. Due to funding constraints for FY 10-11, RAC currently has the following nineteen approved work statements on-hold waiting to bid: 1399-TRP, 1410-TRP, 1413-TRP, 1447-TRP, 1458TRP, 1462-TRP, 1495-TRP, 1499-TRP, 1529-TRP, 1550-TRP, 1556-TRP, 1557-TRP, 1564-TRP, 1565-TRP, 1580-TRP, 1584-TRP, 1603-TRP, 1606-TRP, and 1613-TRP. A large number of these projects will probably be able to be circulated for bids in spring 2011, but RAC will need to first prioritize the list. Appendix R-3 lists all projects currently approved for bidding. Recommendations from the TC/TGs on contractors for the six TRPs above with bids are expected at the annual meeting in Albuquerque. 4. UNSOLICITED RESEARCH PROPOSALS Five new Unsolicited Research Proposals (URP) (1611-URP, 1612-URP, 1617-URP, 1620URP, and 1622-URP) have been received since the start of the Society year and forwarded to a RAC member for initial review before possibly going to an appropriate TC/TG/SSPC for further review. Four other URPs carried-over from the end of last year without a funding decision from a TC/TG/SSPC (1554-URP, 1575-URP, 1578-URP, and 1597-URP) until the Orlando meeting. All but one (1597-URP) of these four URPs were rejected for funding. Last year by this time for comparison, we had received four new URPs for review.

Attachment #5

RAC June 18, 2010 Page 4

Two of the five new URPs were rejected by the RAC reviewer (1612-URP, and 1622-URP) after the Orlando meeting. This brings the total number of unsolicited proposals still pending to three. All three URPs will be discussed for funding by the reviewing TC/TG/SSPCs and will be considered by RAC and Tech. Council in Albuquerque if recommended for funding by a TC/TG/SSPC. All unsolicited proposals still pending are listed in Appendix R-4. 5. WORK STATEMENTS Thirty-two new and revised Work Statements were approved by the TC/TGs, SSPCs or EHC and submitted to the Research Activities Subcommittee for review this year. Last year at this time for comparison, we had received forty-one work statements for review. This year, four work statements were approved as-is, twelve were approved conditionally and held pending satisfaction of the pre-bid conditions, eight were returned to the TCs, and eight have been submitted for review by RAC at the annual meeting in Albuquerque. No work statements were dropped from the Society Implementation Plan so far this year due to lack of activity and topic time limits, but five are likely to be dropped on July 1, 2010. All previously returned Work Statements and those to review in Albuquerque are listed in Appendix R-5. 6. DROPPED PROJECTS This year so far, a total of forty-four potential or active projects were dropped or rejected by the TC/TGs, RAS and the Research Administration Committee and Technology Council, or by staff due to time limits. Last year at this time for comparison, thirty-seven topics were dropped. The dropped topics for this year are listed in Appendix R-6. 7. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER Eight technical papers based on ASHRAE research projects were presented at the winter meeting in Orlando. The projects involved were 1017-RP, 1235-RP, 1254-RP,1299-RP, 1312-RP (2), 1326-RP, and 1477-RP. Seven papers on the following projects are scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting in Albuquerque or a total of 15 papers for the year: 1128-RP, 1322-RP (2), 1395-RP (2), 1453-RP and 1488-RP. Last year at this time for comparison, we had a total of 33 technical papers for the year. 8. GRANTS-IN-AID A letter announcing the availability of ASHRAE Grants-In-Aid for Graduate students was sent to over three hundred colleges in September 2009. Application forms were included with the announcements. The information and application forms were also placed on the

Attachment #5

RAC June 18, 2010 Page 5

ASHRAE Home Page. A total of 51 candidates applied for a grant and twenty-one were selected to receive a grant. For comparison, we had 31 applicants for the grant last year and twenty grants were awarded. The grant candidates are summarized in Appendix R-7. The two top ranked applicants, Jitendra Gupta and Brandon Woodland of Purdue University, were designated Life Members Club grant recipients based upon a monetary donation from the club. 9. HOMER ADDAMS AWARD A letter was sent to the Principal Investigators of all research projects active within the past two years to determine if they had graduate students that they wished to nominate for the 2009-2010 Homer Addams Award. Four nominations were received and the 20092010 Homer Addams Award recipient is Nathan Kotey of the University of Waterloo for his work on ASHRAE research project 1311-RP, Improving Load Calculations for Fenestration with Shading Devices and for the contributions he made to the development of six technical papers documenting the results of this project. This is also the first time the award has been presented using the following new criterion as the basis for the award: The basis for the award will be an evaluation of ASHRAE Transactions and HVAC&R Research papers that have been published within the prior ASHRAE Society year (July 1 to June 30) and that were deliverables from ASHRAE sponsored research projects. The previous and current grant recipients are summarized in Appendix R-8. 11. NEW INVESTIGATOR AWARD Announcements and application information for the New Investigator Award Program were circulated to colleges and universities with the grant-in-aid information. Four new researchers were nominated for the 2010-2011 Society year award. The 2010-2011 New Investigator award will go to Dr. Atila Novoselac of the University of Texas - Austin. Additional information on the previous and the current recipient of the award is provided in Appendix R-8. 12. RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Society Research Implementation Plan currently consists of 68 research topics in various stages of development prior to contract award (28 RTARs, 14 WSs, and 26 TRPs). Last year at this time for comparison, we had 60 topics. At their fall, winter, and spring meetings, RAC reviewed a total of 14 new or revised RTARs submitted by the TC/TGs and accepted 7 for inclusion in the plan and for further development into work statements. Four RTARs were returned to the TC/TGs with comments and three were rejected as not appropriate research for ASHRAE. Two RTARs (1407, and 1429) were automatically dropped from the plan due to lack of activity by the TCs after fours years on the plan. Another four RTARs (1425, 1435, 1446, and 1465) are in jeopardy of being dropped for

Attachment #5

RAC June 18, 2010 Page 6

good by October 2010. The RTARs that are on the Society Implementation Plan now are summarized in Appendix R-9. The RTARs that are not on the plan are listed in Appendix R-10. For the annual meeting, RAC will review six new or revised RTARs for possible addition to the plan. Last year at this time for comparison, RAC had reviewed a total for 41 RTAR submissions, accepted twenty, and dropped eight from the plan that year due to time limits. 13. RESEARCH BUDGET The 2009-2010 Research Budget authorized the expenditure of $2,848,500 (less $129,400 in dues income) for projects, New Investigator Award payments and Grants-In-Aid. The year began with obligations previously made for the year of $1,575,667. This resulted in $1,272,833 being available to obligate in new payments during the year. During this fiscal year, eighteen new projects worth $2,911,851 in total value were started and are expected to result in $1,219,465 in additional payments during FY 09-10. Funded extensions for two active research projects were also approved totaling $262,000 that are expected to result in $43,468 in additional payments during FY 09-10. Total FY 09-10 expenditures for projects, New Investigator Award payments and Grants-In-Aid expected to total to $2,838,600 or $9,900 (0.3%) below budget at this time. Current commitments for FY 10-11 total to $2,616,259. If all four TRPs that bid last spring and received bids (excludes 1596-TRP which is funded by a NIST grant) plus the carry-over project 1515-TRP are under contract in the first quarter of FY 10-11, ASHRAE will incur an estimated $310,877 in additional commitments for that year for a total of $2,927,136. In the unlikely case that all three pending URPs are also under contract in the first quarter of FY 10-11, ASHRAE will incur an additional $182,040 in commitments for a total of $3,109,176. The draft FY 10-11 budget for projects, grants and awards is $2,983,000, but if dues income is backed out this drops to $2,849,000. The final FY 10-11 budget will be finalized in Albuquerque, NM and it includes now a transfer from the Research Reserve Fund $107,000 higher (27% increase) than last years transfer. Our current commitments for FY 11-12 total $802,128 so we should be able to release a large number of projects for bid in spring 2011. At this point, we have 19 TRPs and probably additional WSs that we are reviewing in Albuquerque (8) and Tech Weekend (?) that are or may be ready for bid in spring 2011. If just the 19 projects that are approved and ready now bid in spring 2011 and all are awarded in Montreal, they would add $2,153,964 in additional funding commitments to FY10-11. As a result, RAC will need to continue to prioritize the list of TRPs to bid on a regular basis. We also may need to forgo a spring and fall bid solicitation in 2011 if our budgets dont change significantly from what is assumed above due to on-going or increased

JULY/AUGUST 2009 1384 Hybrid Ground-Coupled Heat Pump (HyGCHP) systems couple conventional GCHPs with supplemental heat rejection or extraction systems. This can significantly improve the economics and energy use of GCHPs in both cooling and heating dominated climates. However, the design and operation of HyGCHPs are significantly more complex and non-intuitive. Also, there is relatively little information accessible to the practicing engineer. A recently completed ASHRAE research project provides the design engineer with a powerful simulation/optimization tool and a series of design guidelines based on a parametric analysis to minimize the LCC in selecting an equipment configuration, size, and control sequence for a typical HyGCHP system. A technical paper on this project was published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(1), CH-09-057) and is now available. 1384-RP, Development of a Design Procedure for Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump Systems, was sponsored by TC 6.8, Geothermal Energy Utilization. The principle investigator was Mr. Greg Nellis with the University of Wisconsin.

FEBRUARY 2010 1083 Chlorine is commonly used as the primary disinfectant in pools to keep the water within health management guidelines and codes. However, chemical off-gassing from these pools can bring air contaminant concentrations above recommended levels. An ASHRAE research project studied the IAQ of swimming pool enclosures and occupant health from a mechanical and chemistry point of view to assist designers in ensuring a ventilation system that accounts for all the pollutants generated in an indoor pool environment. The project evaluated various ventilation rates and strategies and current ventilation guidance from ASHRAE (Standard 62.1). The results and recommended design guidelines are presented in the final report. A technical paper on this project was published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(2), LO-09-047) and is now available. 1083-RP, Chemical Out-Gassing from Indoor Swimming Pools, was sponsored by TC 8.10 Mechanical Dehumidification Equipment and Heat Pipes. The principle investigator was Mr. Richard Cavestri with Imagination Resources. 1362 An ASHRAE research project tested 85 commercial kitchen appliances to update and expand the table of heat gain estimates and required exhaust ventilation rates in the ASHRAE Handbook. Results showed that in general, heat

gain estimates based on rated energy input or actual energy use were at best only a rough estimate. In fact, 50% of hooded appliances did not add to design cooling load. The study illustrated how side panels provide a measureable improvement in capture and containment performance for at least 90% of tested configurations, that dishwashers should be ventilated without exception, and that closing appliance lids, covers, doors, etc. possible proved a simple and cost free method for reducing the heat gain, appliance input rate, and reduced the ventilation requirement. Two technical papers on this project were published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(2), LO-09-011 & LO-09-012) and are now available. 1362-RP, Revised Heat Gain and Capture and Containment Exhaust Rates from Typical Commercial Cooking Appliances, was sponsored by TC 5.10, Kitchen Ventilation. The principle investigator was Mr. Donald Fisher with Fisher-Nickel Inc. 1319 Presently, the ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database (DFDB) only includes flat oval duct information for straight ducts and 5-gore hard bend elbows. An ASHRAE research project to add total pressure loss coefficients for five new flat oval elbows (5-gore 90 bend, mitered 90 easy bend with/without vanes, and mitered 90 hard bend with/without vanes) has been completed. The project tested fittings according to ASHRAE Standard 120-1999 and presents a loss coefficient table (as a function of aspect ratio and hydraulic diameter) suitable for insertion in the DFDB was prepared for each fitting. Two technical papers on this project were published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(1), CH-09-029 & CH-09-030) and are now available. 1319-RP, Laboratory Testing of Duct Fittings to Determine Loss Coefficients, was sponsored by TC 5.2, Duct Design. The principle investigator was Dr. Stephen Idem with Tennessee Technological University. 1301 A recently completed ASHRAE research project has developed a ventilation effectiveness factor and ventilation effectiveness map to measure and characterize ventilation in animal building airspaces. Existing procedures are typically for researchers needing sophisticated instrumentation and are labor-intensive making them impractical. This newly developed procedure, described in the final report, is more easily measurable, applicable under different operating conditions, and practical in terms of cost and effort involved in measurements. A technical paper on this project was published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 113(1), DA-07-039) and is now available. 1301-RP, Quantification of Ventilation Effectiveness for Air Quality Control in Plant and Animal Environments, was sponsored by TC 2.2, Plant and Animal Environment. The principle investigator was Dr. Xinlei Wang with the University of Illinois. The final reports for these projects are available for free to ASHRAE members. Members can log onto ASHRAE.org and go to the Research link under the Technology tab. ASHRAE Transactions papers are available for $5 to ASHRAE members at www.ashrae.org/bookstore. APRIL 2010 1219 The current ASHRAE Handbook includes a qualitative comparison of various fan and duct outlet configurations that can cause rumble conditions. However, no quantitative sound pressure level data is available in the low frequency range to determine the acoustic impact of the various configurations. To obtain this data, a research project tested 14 different discharge conditions, fan orientations and outlet/inlet distances. The project final report found some trends, but suggests that the aerodynamics near the fan have complex behavior requiring that additional diagnostic tools be used. Technical papers on this project were published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 114(2), SL-08-002 & SL-08-003) and are now available. 1219-RP, Qualification of Duct Rumble Noise Resulting from Aerodynamic System Effects at the Discharge of a Centrifugal Fan, was sponsored by TC 2.6, Sound and Vibration Control. The principle investigator was Dr. J. Adin Mann, III with Iowa State University. 1280 To avoid uncertainty and flow instability, water chillers and heat exchangers are commonly designed so that they do not operate within the flow transition region. However, due to design constraints and changing

operating conditions, exchangers oftentimes must operate in this region. Therefore, designers need data and performance prediction methods for flow and heat transfer behavior in this transition region. An ASHRAE research project set out to characterize and develop correlations inside both smooth and enhanced tubes in transitional flow. Testing results and general correlations are summarized in the final report for the project. A technical paper was submitted for presentation in a future edition of the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal. 1280-RP, Measurement and Evaluation of Single Phase Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop inside Enhanced Tubes for Transition Flow, was sponsored by TC 1.3, Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow. The principle investigator was Dr. Josua Meyer with the University of Pretoria South Africa. 1354 Software applications are a critical component of building design, construction, and operation of HVAC&R systems in buildings. However, the lack of compatibility and interoperability between the various software applications can lead to information being re-entered and re-interpreted for each application causing inefficiency and even information loss. NIST estimates this cost to be $15.8 billion per year in the US. A recently completed in support of draft ASHRAE Guideline 20P, a research project set out to create common data definitions for the HVAC&R industry applications. The final report details the research of existing data models that found 107 data groups with 4350 data elements. A technical paper on this project was published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(2), LO-09-050) and is now available. 1354-RP, Generic Common Interoperable Data for the HVAC&R Industry Application, was sponsored by TC 1.5, Computer Applications. The principle investigator was Mr. Jason Glazer with Gard Analytics. 1311 It is estimated that 25% of a buildings energy consumption are due to solar load gains through windows. Internal shading devices such as drapes, venetian blinds, roller blinds, and screens can reduce solar gains. However, they increase the surface area and convective heat transfer, potentially increasing the immediate cooling load. Therefore, the overall impact on equipment load and energy consumption is difficult to foresee. To solve this problem, an ASHRAE research project developed a model to analyze almost a limitless number of internal shading types and variations. The model, suitable for use with the RTS load calculation method, was used to generate the Indoor Attenuation Coefficient (IAC) tables included in the 2009 HOF. Technical papers on this project were published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(2), LO09-003, Vol. 112(2), QC-06-001, QC-06-002, & QC-06-003) and are now available. 1311-RP, Improving Load Calculations for Fenestrations with Shading Devices, was sponsored by TC 4.1, Load Calculation Data and Procedures . The principle investigator was Mr. John Wright with the University of Waterloo. 1326 A research project has updated ASHRAEs non-residential load calculation procedures to produce a new ASHRAE publication titled Load Calculation Applications Manual. This book incorporates results from several recent ASHRAE research projects and supersedes the existing Cooling and Heating Load Calculation Principles. The final report details the various revisions and updates to the existing procedure including integration of recent ASHRAE research, simplification of the procedure where possible, including real-world situations not considered in the previous procedure (thermal bridges, internal shading, etc.) and adds numerous clearly documented, comprehensive examples. A technical paper was submitted for presentation in a future edition of the ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 116(1)). 1326-RP, Application Manual for Non-Residential Load Calculations, was sponsored by TC 4.1, Load Calculation Data and Procedures . The principle investigator was Mr. Jeff Spitler with Oklahoma State University.

IN QUEUE 1485 A recently completed research project updated the moist air and saturation tables for the psychrometrics chapter in the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals. This is the first update to the ASHRAE psychrometric tables since 1985. The changes do not drastically affect air conditioning system psychrometrics but have a more significant impact on higher pressure and temperature applications such as for gas turbine and compressed air energy storage. The final report details the development of the new and revised psychrometric formulas and resulting data. A technical paper was submitted for presentation in a future edition of the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal (Vol. 15(5)). 1485-URP, Psychrometric Research, was sponsored by TC 1.1, Thermodynamics and Psychrometrics. The principle investigator was Mr. Don Gatley with Gatley & Associates. 1128 An ASHRAE research project conducted tests exposing thirty building occupants to all combinations of five thermal conditions, two sound qualities, and three sound levels mimicking noise from building ventilation systems. Results from this interdisciplinary study show that subjective ratings of thermal comfort can be affected by the acoustical environment but that subjective ratings of building or office noise are not affected by the thermal environment. The final report presents equations to describe the relationship between the mean thermal comfort rating and sound level, temperature and sound levels. A technical paper will be published in a future edition of the ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 116(2) and presented in Albuquerque. 1128-RP, Trade-off Function for the Combined Effects of Noise and Temperature on Human Comfort and Performance, was sponsored by TC 2.1, Physiology and Human Environment. The principle investigator was Ms. Amy Musser with the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. 1223 Fan performance as installed can have lower performance than manufacturer ratings due to improper inlet connections. An ASHRAE research project tested air and sound performance of fans with systematic variation of inlet flow components, intended to simulate typical in the field installations. The final report presents the resulting performance penalties associated with the various appurtenances. These are characterized in terms of the System Effect Factor (SEF) and included in the ASHRAE Handbook. Technical papers on this project were published in ASHRAE Transactions (Vol. 115(2), LO-09-039, LO09-040, & LO-09-041) & HVAC&R Research Journal (Vol. 15(2), Mar. 2009) and are now available. 1223-RP, Inlet Installation Effects on Small Propeller Fans, Air and Sound, was sponsored by TC 5.1, Fan Design and Application. The principle investigator was Mr. Corrinne Darvennes with Tennessee Technological University. 1243 An ASHRAE research project studied the emission and measurement of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) released from active mold growth. Measurement of these MVOCs has potential as a non-destructive detection method for the presence of hidden mold in problem indoor environments. This project studied MVOC production by different mold types growing on selective building materials in simulated, realistic conditions. The final report summarizes a database of potentially useful MVOCs identified in the study. A technical paper was submitted for presentation in a future edition of the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal. 1243-RP, Detection and Removal of Gaseous Effluents and By-Products of Fungal Growth that Affect Indoor Environments (Phase II), was sponsored by TC 2.3, Gaseous Air Contaminants and Gas Contaminant Removal Equipment. The principle investigator was Dr. W. Elliott Horner, with Air Quality Sciences Inc.

1269 New approaches to reducing the energy consumption in buildings can lead to drifting indoor temperatures. Recently completed ASHRAE research looked at the effect of these drifting temperatures on occupants perceived air quality, work performance, and comfort. Researchers found that temperature ramps did have some negative effect on general SBS symptoms but did not have a significant effect on office work performance. Also, a relationship between mean thermal sensation and the % of thermally dissatisfied subjects was in fairly good agreement with predictions from the PMV/PPD model from Standard 55. A technical paper on this project was published in the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal (Vol. 15(5), September 2009) and is now available. 1269-RP, Occupant Responses and Energy Use in Buildings with Moderately Drifting Temperatures, was sponsored by TC 2.1, Physiology and Human Environment. The principle investigator was Mr. Jorn Toftum with the Technical University of Denmark.

1257 Poor performance of school work by children can have lifelong consequences for a student and society. Despite this, little scientific research has been done to study the relationship between IAQ and performance of schoolwork. An ASHRAE research project measured the effect of various outdoor air supply rates and temperatures on school work and found a marked improvement in performance with increased ventilation and/or decreased temperatures. The results demonstrate IAQ is an important factor in the learning process and can be given priority as is done for improving teaching materials and methods. Researchers note that any IAQ improvement strategies, not just those used in this research, such as eliminating pollution sources, air cleaning, and/or improving architectural design, are likely to provide the benefits for schoolwork observed in this research. Technical papers on this project were published in the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal (Vol. 14(3), May 2008 & Vol. 13(2), Mar. 2007) and are now available. 1257-RP, Indoor Environmental Effects on Performance of School Work by Children, was sponsored by TC 2.1, Physiology and Human Environment.

ASHRAE RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYSIS (Completed by Staff June 2010) Project Number & Title: 1493-TRP, CFD Shootout Contest - Prediction of Duct Fitting Losses Sponsored by TC/TG: TC 5.2 - Duct Design Justification of Need: To date, $402k has been spent by ASHRAE to test various duct fittings. We are nowhere near finished. There are a number of round, rectangular, and flat oval fittings that are yet to be tested. Flat oval duct tests have recently started. The cost of testing continues to rise. The quality of testing is sometimes questionable, if not unacceptable. If this project is successful, then we can begin to consider using CFD as our source of fitting losses, and test them virtually, rather than test actual fittings. Once the models have been validated, we can test all of our future fittings computationally. Not only will the fittings currently not tested or validated be available to the members much sooner, but at a considerably lower cost. The ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database can then be reasonably complete one day. Work Statement Authors: Herman Behls, Steve Idem Research Strategic Plan Goals Applicable to this Research: C6

ASHRAE RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYSIS (Completed by Staff June 2010) Project Number & Title: 1517-TRP, Validation of a Low-order Acoustic Model of Boilers and its Application for Diagnosing Combustion Driven Oscillations Sponsored by TC/TG: TC 6.10 - Fuels and Combustion Justification of Need: During the development of higher efficiency, lower emission boilers, tonal noise can be an unacceptable problem. This is caused by oscillations of the flame which result in pressure oscillations in the combustion chamber that are radiated as noise. This occurs whenever the pressure oscillations feed back on the flame, via the mixture supply system, in such a manner that the flame oscillations increase. The interaction of the boiler, burner, and flame is so complex that breaking the circle is best accomplished with the help of a computer model. The objective of this research is to develop a procedure for quickly and efficiently modeling the acoustic behavior of gas fired heating boilers as a tool for diagnosing the cause of combustion oscillations. ASHRAE members who would benefit immediately from the proposed research are engineers engaged in the development of high efficiency, low NOx gas fired boilers for residential and small commercial applications. It is expected that the results will also benefit engineers involved in the development of gas fired furnaces and liquid fueled boilers as the demand for lower NOx emissions from those products spreads in the near future. Together, gas and oil burning boilers and furnaces are used to heat the vast majority of homes and small commercial buildings. The ultimate beneficiaries are the owners of buildings in which better heating appliances are to be installed and sustainable low emission solutions are to be provided.

ASHRAE RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYSIS (Completed by Staff June 2010) Project Number & Title: 1547-TRP, CO2-based Demand Controlled Ventilation for Multiple Zone HVAC Systems Sponsored by TC/TG: TC 4.3 Ventilation Requirements and Infiltration Justification of Need: ASHRAE Standard 90.1 defines demand controlled ventilation (DCV) as a system that provides automatic reduction of outdoor air intake below design rates when the actual occupancy of spaces served by the system is less than design occupancy. Standard 90.1 has required DCV, with some exceptions, for densely occupied spaces since the 1999 version, which also required that the DCV system be in compliance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1. The Standard 62.1 Users Manual includes an appendix showing the underlying theory and a control scheme for using carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration for DCV in accordance with the Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP) of ASHRAE Standard 62.1. The 2007 version of the Manual only addresses CO2 DCV for single zone systems. The 2004 version of the Manual also included an approach for multiple zone recirculation HVAC systems (MZS) but errors were found in the approach so it was removed. The authors of the Manual and the SSPC 62.1 subcommittee monitoring the Manuals development felt that before any MZS DCV control logic could be included in the manual, research had to be done to ensure that the many complexities of the subject were properly addressed. Until questions are answered concerning MZS DCV, CO2 DCV cannot be properly implemented in MZS with any assurance that it will be Standard 62.1 compliant and provide significantly improved energy performance. This research will ensure that it is possible to fully comply with both Standard 90.1 and Standard 62.1 with respect to multiple zone DCV systems.

Justification for not selecting lower-cost responsive bids (scoring 70 or more points) (3): UCF had several statements in their proposal that did not show a thorough understanding of multiple zone VAV systems. They discussed fan cycling during occupied hours (not practical when ventilation must be maintained per Standard 62) controlling outdoor airflow with the supply fan (VAV boxes control the airflow to the space and an independent control system controls outdoor airflow; the supply fan does control either directly), and coil control logic that was simply not understandable. The selected contractor (Nebraska) showed an extremely thorough understanding of the multiple spaces requirements of Standard 62.1 and of VAV systems. Submitted by: Steve Taylor Date: June 28, 2010
NOTE: (1) These Evaluation Criteria are examples. Evaluation Criteria and Weighting Factors must be those specified in the Work Statement.

ASHRAE RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYSIS (Completed by Staff June 2010) Project Number & Title: 1583-TRP, Assessment of Burning Velocity Test Methods Sponsored by TC/TG: TC 3.1 - Refrigerants and Secondary Coolants Justification of Need: Regulations for the phase-out of R-134a in the automotive industry from 20112017 in the EU are already in place and anticipated to spread to other regions and applications (e.g. Waxman-Markey bill in the US Congress). By obtaining accurate values for burning velocity of mildly flammable low GWP refrigerants, the likelihood of adoption of these refrigerants will significantly increase and the long term environmental impact on climate change will be very significant. Substantial quantities of these new refrigerants could be in use in the 2012-2020 timeframe. Also, rules for refrigerant toxicity and safety classification under ISO 817 will probably be adopted by ASHRAE in the future in order to harmonize both systems and prevent confusion in the marketplace. Therefore, this is an important program for ASHRAE as well as ISO. The objective of this project is to critically evaluate two different burning velocity test methods (vertical tube and spherical/cylindrical) to determine their precision and accuracy and potential for test method simplification and cost reduction without sacrificing quality. This should allow more widespread use of burning velocity measurement to support the new refrigerant flammability classification standard ISO 817 and ASHRAE Standard 34. The plan is to have one ASHRAE project, but potentially two separate budgets and contracts if two contractors with expertise with one specific method are chosen.

ASHRAE RESEARCH PROJECT ANALYSIS (Completed by Staff June 2010) Project Number & Title: 1596-TRP, Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality in Retail Stores Sponsored by TC/TG: TC 4.3 -Ventilation Requirements and Infiltration Justification of Need: Interest in this area has developed due to ASHRAEs role in organizing and leading the Retailer Energy Alliance with support from the US Department of Energy. This study will establish the process for benchmarking important retail building classes and will coordinate potential changes in standards that affect their energy use and air quality. The primary user of these results within ASHRAE will be ASHRAE SSPC 62.1 and TC 4.3. Building designers will also be provided with data that will allow improved application of the Standard 62.1 IAQ Procedure. Retail buildings in the United States account for approximately 20 percent of commercial sector energy consumption and represent the fastest growing commercial subsector (DOE, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Program, 2009). The potential for impact from this project on both indoor air quality and energy efficiency is significant. Funding for the project and ASHRAE administrative costs is provided through a $1.5 million dollar grant from the NIST Measurement Science and Engineering Research Grants program.

MORTS NOTES: Reasons Why Other Recommended or Registered Bidders Did Not Bid: 1. Sebesta Blomberg: has terrific expertise in building systems and energy evaluation, and fair expertise in questionnaires and survey analysis, the critical element of air quality measurements put too much of the project into transportation, logistics with several volunteer companies allowing access to facility and personnel, and sub contracts for IAQ measurement equipment and analysis. Barry Bridges 2. Georgia Technology Institute: I will not bid for the following reasons: 1) Once the first task is completed, there is a need for approval of the method prior to moving onto the next task. This will make it very difficult to meet the time schedule due to the length time approval takes with ASHRAE. 2) Although the first task required the method to be developed, in reality to develop an effective method, task 2 should be done before task 1. 3) In sufficient funded allowed for the tasks requested. Dr. Charlene W. Bayer United Technologies Research Center: We do not intend to bid. UTRC was interested in being a subcontractor due to our interest in certain aspects of the project, but did not want to manage the entire program. Greg Dobbs. Sensus: We will be participating, but not as PRIME. We will team with the University of Nebraska team. Brian Thompson AMCA: AMCA will not bid on this project due to the fact that the project is outside our scope and we do not have the resources to expand our scope at this time. Mark Stevens Syracuse University: decided not to bid due to other commitments. Jensen Zhang Air Innovation Resources: We will not be bidding after all. Felicia Festa

She is a member of ASHRAE, International Society for Exposure Science, International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate, and Air and Waste Management Association. Dr. Xu has published 12 journal articles on measurements and modeling of fate and transport of indoor air pollutants and approximately 15 conference proceedings. She is an ASHRAE student member, but no record of prior or current TC participation. Neil Crain is a Research Scientist at The Center for Energy and Environmental Research located on the JJ Pickle Research Campus of The University of Texas at Austin (UT). Dr. Crain earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from UT in 1983 and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, from UT in 1994. Dr. Crain has extensive experience in the fate and transport of VOCs in the indoor environment. He has conducted field studies of VOCs in homes, assisted living facilities and office spaces. Recently he conducted a soil vapor intrusion study for the Texas Department of State Health Services of more than 40 private homes in North Texas. In addition to field studies, Dr. Crain has developed sampling techniques, analytical methods and experimental equipment for measuring VOC emissions from paint and architectural coatings and building materials. No record of ASHRAE membership or prior or current TC participation. Subcontractor: Pennsylvania State University (Jelena Srebric) is an Associate Professor of Architectural Engineering and an Adjunct Professor of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. She holds a Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and M.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Belgrade. Dr. Srebric is directing the Building Science Initiative at the Pennsylvania State Institutes of Energy and the Environment. The Building Science Initiative focuses on research and technology transfer of hybrid optimization methods for reduced energy consumption, improved water management, and enhanced occupant environmental perception. These hybrid optimization methods include on-site measured data, numerical simulations, analytical models and occupant feedback. In addition, the development of new models sometimes requires experimentation in a laboratory environment that Dr. Srebric designed and built for energy and indoor air quality studies. Her work is sponsored by several grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). She is a recipient of both NSF and NIOSHs career awards. She published extensively in the field, and received several research awards including ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Engineers) Poster Presentation Awards for 1999, 2001 and 2009 as well as ASHRAE Transaction Paper Awards for 2007 and 2009. Dr. Srebric participated in three ASHARE projects and received Homer Addams Award in 2001 for her research work. Dr. Srebric is an editorial board member of five international journals, and an associate editor of ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal. Her work in ASHRAE was recognized with an outstanding service award. Dr. Srebric has a consulting record with eight companies on projects that include development of new design practices and solutions for constructed buildings as well design competitions. No previous history as a P.I. on any ASHRAE research projects. She is an ASHRAE member and active on TCs 4.10 and 5.3.
